Popularo.com – Half Human, Half Robot Search

Popularo.comPopularo is a simple search engine which lets you run a query through Google, and then asks you to report back to them in regards to the relevancy of the results. For example, when you query “Cats”, you’ll get the normal wide variety of Google results.

.The Wiki page about “cats” could be rated as excellent, whereas the official website for Cats, the Broadway musical, might only be a “good” result. You can use Popularo just as you would use Google. However, you’re never directed away from the Popularo page; results are displayed in a box below the Popularo header; this way, you can easily use the Popularo rating buttons to indicate how good a given result is. Popularo’s aim is to devise a half-human, half-bot search engine to turn out more relevant results for your searches.

Popularo.com In Their Own Words

“So, what is Popularo Search (beta) ? We are working on a half-human, half-computer driven search portal that will drastically reduce the number of searches people need to run before they find what they are looking for. A big part of that is user feedback around the quality of search results they receive”.

Why Popularo.com It Might Be A Killer

If Popularo can successfully integrate human search responses with robotic ones, it could be a more effective way of obtaining information

Some Questions About Popularo.com

It’s difficult to say what the future of Popularo will be; it’s still in Beta, and when I tested out its results in comparison with a regular Google search, there was no discernable difference. How does Popularo plan on demonstrating to its users that its search results are different from those featured on other large search engines? Is there a way that Popularo could highlight differences between a normal Google search and its own search? Popularo.com
