Social search engines

The following are search engines that rely on humans (not algorithms) to determine the ranking of results.

openquoteWhat is Tall Street?

Tall Street is a Social Recommendation Engine. That is a Web Directory where you control the results.

What does this mean? When searching our directory if you find useful results you can give them a 5/5 rating. Alternatively if you see results that don't belong then give them a 1/5 rating. These ratings help us to promote good sites, and remove spam.

aftervote.com
openquoteWe take the results from the 3 major search engines, (Google, Yahoo, MSN) Taking into account their current rankings. We then weight them against our own database to see what our users have said about where positions should be, and apply that weight to the results. Sometimes users have their own custom algorithm, and in that case you choose how to rank the results, not us.closequote
