A new search engine, Zotspot, has entered the search engine fray. It offers a new wrinkle in the search engine universe.

In a nutshell, it's willing to pay users for using the search engine. Rather than keeping ad revenue generated by searching, Zotspot is willing to give a share of it to users. They say they will send them a check directly or make a contribution to a charity of the user's choice.

The more users make legitimate use of Zotspot, and the more they convince their friends to do so, the more money users can expect, according to the Zotspot folks. Searches designed to simply increase a user's search statistics can be easily spotted, the Zotspotters say. The charities, at the moment, are limited to a list of approved charities recognized by Zotspot. More will be added later, the Zotspot folks say, once they've been vetted by company officials.

The service is free. Users need to register, so they get credit for the searches they make. The service's main site, http://www.zotspot.com, also tells users how to get credit for referring others to Zotspot.

Lijit Networks is developing a better way to search for information

In real-life, people seek out advice from friends, co-workers, family, professionals, etc. Content is vetted though these social connections reducing the number of possibilities, and filtering for local relevance. This filtering is complex and it evolves through our entire lives. It is shaped by the experiences we have, the people we know, and the path that we take in life.

What if searching on web worked the way it did in real-life?

What if, you could search a person?

A single search for ‘television’ through that person’s eyes could returns blog posts the person had authored as well as bookmarks they made of TV related content.

What if, you could search a group of people, through a person?

A single search for “childcare” would return a friend’s Blog post on childcare, bookmarks your friend and her friends made about local childcare providers and an online article from the local newspaper on a childcare scandal in your town….

What if, you could search a group of people and their connections, through a person?

A single search for “dentist Boulder Colorado” would return bookmarks to the four dentists your friends use, the official site of an oral surgeon that your father knows from school, and articles from online journals that that the oral surgeon read last week..

Lijit is working on a revolutionary way to refine the search experience. Using the power of people, connections and information we can significantly enhance the way people search and discover information on the Internet.
