Coming to Sproose design, it is made similar to Google but with lot of IMAGES. Loading time is slow with this design when you query something. The results page is similar to Digg with the voting system leftside of the results and there is the new option called REMOVE URL which gives complete freedom to the users to rank the websites. When you sign up into the search engine(ya you have signup option as well), you can vote a url only one time (ONLY ONE TIME!!)
So the highest number of votes rank a website unlike the other search engines like Google which devised a rank strategy on basis of backlinks.

And how does Sproose handle SPAM? Say for a particular query spammy website comes on top of the results due to a script that creates a lot of accounts and vote the site automatically. This is where REMOVE URL from the search engines helps out. For the first time People can control the search results in more ways than the Mathematical algorithm does. So for a lot of webmasters out there, this is a sign of relief from the usual complexities that other search engines present everyday. But few points that come into my mind now.

1. More activity for the webmaster on the website than before.
2. Sproose algorithm and index. I have seen a website that still is not indexed with the fresh titles and content etc. So the crawling and indexing rate come to the question here.
3. Sproose gives an advantage to the users, webmasters of saving the search results and this can be publicily visible or private that users can share among friends or email them.
4. Any more Ideas, HIT ME HARD!!!!!
5. Before I can say it is THE GOOGLE KILLER, I am myself curious about the third point

Well, I am very happy that there is the new search engine that can compete with the BIG PLAYERS.

Jyve believes real people know lots of things that aren’t easily found on the Web. Jyve offers live access to people and what they know, a means of quickly connecting with someone who has the exact information you need or knows right where to find it.”

Any user can use Jyve to get live “how to” information, assistance with Web searches and tips and advice on everything from what type of laptop to buy (and how to configure it) to learning languages, cooking, mountain biking, etc.

How It Works

When visitors to www.jyve.com type in questions, notices are instantly sent to the desktops of logged-in members who have tagged the topic as one they are knowledgeable in. Members can then “Jyve live” by chatting on the Jyve site, or enter one-on-one conversations via IM or VoIP call. Those seeking answers can evaluate an “expert’s” Jyve profile before entering into private sessions or paid transactions.

Jyve’s Success story

Jyve was founded as an award-winning plug-in for Skype users and quickly attracted a grassroots community of 30,000 members in 50 countries worldwide. Jyve was recently included in Skype’s Extras 3.0 suite and continues to bring members of the Skype community together to share information. As the world’s first “live ask engine,” Jyve extends the use of free, Web-based communications to eclipse static search tools.

About Jyve

Jyve was founded in 2004 to bring the knowledge stored in peoples’ minds worldwide online. Based in San Francisco and privately held, Jyve offers members the opportunity to build presence, credibility and business networks online with no upfront costs, and gives manufacturers and service providers a means of extending “peer support” to customers without adding internal resources. Jyve holds two provisional patents for “productizing knowledge” & metering time using Voice-over-IP and Instant Message (IM).

We have seen that there were recent improvements, new features from other search engines too like yahoo suggestion boards and AskX.com and ofcourse the custom vertical search engines that anyone create from Google or Swicki who are already in the search engine war.

I keep using all these search engines and their services, features at different times for different topics. Your comments are most appreciated.
