Zippy Search Engine for SEO and Everyone Else

When I say that this post is about a new meta search engine that combines the best search results from other popular search engines, you may wonder why we need another one when we already have Dogpile and jux2 ?

Well, you need it simply because it has some very unique features especially if you do some kind of SEO.

Zippy Search not only displays the best search results from Google, Yahoo and MSN Search, it also shows related SEO information for the results in AJAX style [so you don't have to leave the current search results page to know more about any link]

Just click the "more information" link next to any search result to view their alexa rankings, technorati numbers, page rank, backlinks, etc.


There's another nice feature about Zippy. If you supply it a web URL instead of a search query, Zippy will show a list of all the indexed pages from that domain in the three search engines.

Dogpile or Jux2 can't get you this kind of information as Google requires the site: operator while yahoo requires the domain: operator. So how would you pass different search operators in the same query ? Zippy is more intelligent when it comes to interpreting search queries.

Unfortunately, there's no option to search images or news yet. I am sure David Naylor would be adding more features in future and it would be wonderful to have an RSS feed option for search results. Thanks Aaron.

Zippy Search - Best results from all 3 Search Engines (Google, Yahoo!, MSN)

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
