Twurdy.com - Having Access To Readable Search Results

When you are looking for information using your preferred search engine, wouldn’t it be nice to have some kind of additional elements in order to know which link will be worth your while and which one will be a waste of time? Well, this new solution does exactly that. It employs text analysis software in order to "read" each page before it is displayed as part of search results. Each and every page that is displayed receives a readability level. This readability level is accompanied by a code in the shape of a color, and theoretically speaking this will let you figure out whether you will understand the page or if you will feel like Bill Murray’s character from “Lost In Translation” when shooting the ad.

A system like this one is not only useful but actually very suitable – every single person has different reading skills. It is entirely obvious that some people searching the web are university lecturers while others are just out of nappyhood. Twurdy has been devised to provide people with access to search results that accommodate their own reading skills, and (ultimately) make looking up information online a more rewarding task.

“Twurdy's goal is to provide web searchers with information that is most appropriate for them. This will mean that 10 year olds doing school assignments don't have to click through difficult material to find something they can use. It will also mean that phd students do not have to click through websites designed for kids in order to find what they are looking for.”

It should make looking relevant and suitable information online a far more accessible task.

How configurable is the whole process? Is a bookmarklet provided?
