New custom search engine

September 27th, 2007

I started experimenting with Custom Google Engine and decided to add this functionality to my blog. I created a “custom search engine” and hand-picked only relevant web sites in Quebec, mostly blogs at this time. The results are interesting and I will try to work a little bit to expand the site database. And this is where I need you. I added sites which I regularly visit but if you want me to add your blog or site, please email me. The only restriction is that your site fits in the current theme of this blog (i.e. startups in Quebec) and is informative and relevant.

And before you ask, yes, I decided to put ads to the search options. I thought about it for a while and I think that Google ads often shows relevant links which might not be in the database and would otherwise not been found by the user. Tough choice but in the end, I believe the end user experience will be better and the few cents I receive will help pay the hosting fees.
