hmmm...well, the first thing that i can say is that i don't quit like the result display. maybe i'm being a bit too picky about color, scheme, and organization. whatever.
i tried a few personalized rollyo searches and am pretty satisfied with the results (of course "debra messing"'s shopping rollyo is good!). the rollyo ones are good too. i got just what i wanted when i searched for high protein vegetarian food.
i can definitely see a use for this in library settings both public and academic. you could direct patrons to a librarian created/approved search engine and be confident that their results would be accurate. on the other hand, this would bypass the education process. as librarians we would no longer be helping inidviduals to develop discriminating tastes in research but simply doing it for them.
hmmm...i've decided that i do like it though. if i ever feel the urge to further organize my online searching, i'll give this a go!
