Sproose - Social Search<\/p>\n

Sproose<\/a> is a human powered search engine, which, in their own words, provides user generated search results to give the power of search ranking to you, the user. <\/p>\n

I tried searching for a few keywords, and the search result is very similar to that of google<\/a> except that they are sorted by votes, i.e: a website with the most number of votes appear first. Therefore, you would appreciate the search engine more if you are looking for some of the most common search terms of which many people have already searched for and voted.<\/p>\n

The design is not too inviting nor appealing and I think they will get more exposure and users if the design was more compelling. <\/p>\n
