Clusty
I mentioned I switched to Clusty [1], but I want to go into depth as to why I
switched to Clusty [2].
I actually found Google [3] to be rather poor at finding particular entries.
I try to do a search for “tower” [4] and Google would maybe return a entry or
two, but almost never the one I was looking for. When I did a test at Clusty
though—it returned a plethora of results [5], much better than Google
(although now Google is returning more results [6], they still aren't as good
as Clusty).
Google is also loosing its appeal to me. What with the poor results of
AdSense [7], its inability to search my site properly, and … well … I like
the way Clusty clusters results [8] (hense the name). And if that means
Google kicks me out of Google AdSense [9], oh well … it wasn't paying that
much anyway.
