I think that Searchme has some work ahead of them. The results can and should improve with time. Very cool link, thank you. Well, I certainly don’t agree that visual search is “only for kids”.

You get the very negative responses and you get the people that are overly nice. Basing searches on votes won't return the best results. Secondly, I used Scour and found the comments section to be nearly useless. For instance, I searched Obama and instead of getting comments on the relevance of the page I was reading political jargon. If you want a search engine that is truly social, check out Me.dium's new social search. Me.dium’s Social Search, which leverages the Yahoo! Search BOSS platform, provides an entirely new level of information on top of traditional search. Me.dium’s Social Search harnesses the activity of the crowds to let you find information that has relevance based on what people are actually surfing right now. Me.dium’s technology lets the inherent activity of real people - not robotic crawlers - determine relevance. Me.dium’s Social Search results show what people are surfing and find interesting, right now. While other search engines base relevance on how content links across pages, Me.dium’s Social Search shows you the most popular news, reviews, pictures and videos that other people are actually looking at in relation to your search term. And as the activity of the people online changes, so do the search results. Giving people the right right to vote and comment, in my experience, puts people on the two poles.
