Thing 12 - Rollyo

What is a Rollyo ? A Custom Search Engine for the web. I created a Rollyo account for books I might want to look up in Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and Strandbooks.com. I then tried searching for a book called Free for all. Rollyo returned 106,000,000 results. This is when I found out that in addition to the three sites I set up it was also searching the entire web. I’m not sure why it does this since it is supposed to make it easy to search my specific web sites. Anyway, when I tried another book called Weird England, I had more success with 455 results returned and the most relevant being brought to the forefront. I’m not sure I like to service and that I’ll continue to use it but it’s nice to know it exists.
