Stumpedia - Human Powered Search Engine

[hwang]

Stumpedia is a human powered search engine. It takes a democratic approach to indexing and organizing the web, relying on its community members—the people, not bots —to provide relevance and ranking. It’s not influenced by commercial nor vested interests, and it’s free of proprietary algorithms. How it works: sign up and submit a keyword, adding related URLs (bookmarks, social sites, blogs, etc. The Stumpedia community then votes on the sites, determining relevance.

Lol seems something funny to me. More then a search engine it appers to be a personal site.

They have their blogs forums and what not. Moreever if you try to sibmit link they ask you to sign up with your email id.
Was trying to submit my sites but then moved back when they asked to sign up

That's why the search results are all based on own members submission. At least, that's how I understand the way whole concept works. Once submitted, you will need to assign tags to represent your website which will then appear if you use the search using the tags you enter manually.

Seems like a good reason to spam your blog all over the search engine for hits.
Regardless, cool concept, but perhaps a few measures could be made to prevent abuse.

Hmmm...not sure how to manipulate it but I don't think spamming is a good idea. Anyway, I hope it will some day become popular with more people using it.
