    Name = difficult to say, spell and find.

    Gaming the system would be supereasy... just add a few As in front of your company name and you would be listed first, just like in the good old days of paper Yellow Pages. If they indeed want to give power to the user, then they should let them sort results by whichever metadata they want to use as primary sorting key, secondary sorting key, etc., or by whichever ranking method they want to use (such as PageRank). The user chooses what is cool? Maybe, but that does not scale. Does anyone want to be exposed to 10,000 results ordered alphabetically and have to figure out what is cool?

    very useful, I like it.Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these

    Will be fun to see how this will be branded as the name does not seem to roll off the tongue.

    "Oriango is relying on user-submitted links to make up the bulk of its search results," So, plenty of work for all those Bangalore button-pushers employed by the phishing gangs, then!

    I love to see new web business innovations that make sense. Think this one have a search/digg style of searching, but we need to see how people will respond to it. As a marketer, I can said anything until I fully test their system, and collect enough data to see if is worth it to spend time trying to get your site index there.
