SNAP(ed) September 5, 2006

It was just in the previous post that I had mentioned the G company and sometime ago I got introduced to this new search engine SNAP.
For those of you who are relatively new to this, read on.
To keep it short and simple, you just enter your search term or phrase and voila the results show a graphically rich snapshop of the websites listed there.
Why is SNAP better?
Those of us who do a lot of searching know that search could be better. A lot better. Consider these realities of the frequent searcher:
- Frequent searchers use three or more search engines (I for one use Google and MSN. Google because we all know it’s the big bully out there and MSN because it’s friendly to new sites that are listed)
- 50% of searches end in failure (Quite often you come across spam sites. So if you are looking for something that is free to download, then you would end up with a ‘Free Download for only $50.’ Know what I mean?)
- Total round trip time for an average search is 15 minutes (Hmmm, I would clock it to less than 5 minutes, unless I really have nothing to do and I feel compelled to search beyond the 5th search results page)
Snap – The other way to Search
Snap is a new search engine that offers a very different alternative to the Big Search, Text-In, Text-Out, method. Snap is visual. Snap is fast. Snap is Interactive.
The Snap Difference #1: Fast Visual Display of Results Previews
The Snap Difference #2: Actively Anticipating Your Intent
The Snap Difference #3: Direct Interactivity with Your Search Results
The Snap Difference #4: Better Relevance through Successful Past Searches
The Snap Difference to You: Faster Speed to Satisfaction
So well, there you have it.
