Before launching into reviews of TasteKid and Evri, two alternative search engines, Alex offers the following disclaimer: "I am not saying that the following search engines are going to by any means
make a ploy to take over Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, GooHoo, or any combination."
Emmy the TasteKid is a recommendation engine that helps you "explore your taste" in books, movies and
music. Enter a keyword or query and Emmy suggests related bands, books or flicks from its rather impressive index. "You probably won't get any real answers out of Emmy, or even the titles of CDs or
books by the artist or author you are inquiring about, but TasteKid can help you build a new list of artists, movies, or perspectives to explore," Alex says.
Meanwhile, Evri is
another semantic/social search engine hybrid. Unlike Mahalo, it relies purely on algorithms to parse the results. But unlike Google and other core engines, the technology focuses on the relationships
between the actual words searchers enter and their related concepts.
