Yaggs Human Powered Search

Well this was fast. Today Thomas Frütel announced the launch of Yaggs, a human powered search engine based on the idea of Mahalo which launched only 4 months ago.

You enter a search term and Yaggs either displays its very own results page or fetches the results from Google. Yaggs pages are created by editors and claim to be superior to what search engines will find since the noise has been prefiltered. Currently 35 pages have been created, over time a few thousand of the most popular search terms will be added.

Good luck keeping in sync with the web.
