BALDEY.COM - A NEW META-SEARCH ENGINE
---------------------------------------
Just a few days ago, a new meta-search engine called Baldey was
introduced. This new search tool works by using the best findings
from several other search engines and combining them in a unique way.
Depending on the position of a result found (e.g. number 2 by Yahoo)
and the number of times a search result is returned by multiple search
engines (e.g. both with Altavista and Yahoo), the results are combined
into an optimal weighted result. Because of this advanced ranking
system, the best links are more likely to appear at the top of
Baldey's results.
By default, Baldey bounces your keyword(s) against seven search
engines, but you can select any or all of the ten engines listed at
the site. You can also select the "fastest three" option, and get
results from the three fastest search engines at that moment. And if
English is not your native language, Baldey is available in 14
languages!
To be honest, I'm not sure how Baldey's results compare with other
meta-search sites like Dogpile or Metacrawler, or with link popularity
searchers such as Google and DirectHit. But it does seem to have
promise, so give it a try and see what you think.

THE WEBBYS
------------
I guess I didn't clarify the procedure for voting when I mentioned the
Webby Awards in the last issue. A bunch of people wrote to tell me
that TOURBUS is not listed as a nominee in the "Print & Zines"
category there, which is true.
If you think TOURBUS deserves your vote, you have to do a write-in.
But the write-in box does not appear until you register at the Webbys
site. So register first, then click into the "Print & Zines" area.
The write-in box will be at the bottom of the list.
