ChaCha

December 15, 2006 at 12:52 pm · Filed under Search Engine

ChaCha – A Human Powered Search Engine.

Chacha is another coool search engine with a standard search box. Type a query/keyword and you get back a set of results. But the most interesting aspect of Chacha is its people powered search engine. If you are not satisfied with the results you can request a chat session with a human search guide and get help to find what you are searching for.

Though its not fair to compare with Google, its really FUN to have a play with it.

On a similar note, try out Hakia which is a meaning based search engine which I covered here.

GotAPI

GotApi – Quick API Lookup Service.

If you’re looking for a quick developer reference for CSS, HTML, JavaScript, XSL, Java, J2EE, Struts then GotAPI is for you. It uses AJAX technology to get a large collection of API’s all in one place. The interface is really nice. Try it out and Im sure you find it very useful when you’re struck with coding.
