Any way you want it, That’s the way you need it, Anyway you want it…
Sorry, had a little Journey moment there. Maybe it’s because I’m feeling so inspired by Rollyo.com, a do-it-yourself search engine that lets you search the web using only the sites you want.
It’s built upon the Yahoo search engine and allows users to create custom queries (it calls them “searchrolls”) which can then be shared with others.
The interesting thing here is that it’s not someone building a new search engine but rather someone building something a little better on top of what already exists.
This article in Information Week has more, including the scoop on the site’s celebrity connections (searchrolls have been created by Debra Messing, Rosario Dawson and Diane Von Furstenberg, among others).
