Standard search engines can only help you find results to a search query you can put into keywords. Often I want to ask the question "Am I missing something important about X?" and that cannot be translated into an effective search query.
We've built resourcey.com trying to tackle this problem. That is, http://resourcey.com/site_details/2/news.ycombinator.com/ http://resourcey.com/site_details/2/news.ycombinator.com/ is the answer to "Am I missing something important about Hacker News?".
This is a different form of search queries we couldn't find a way to get results for via standard search engines. If you think this functionality can be somehow produced by a standard search query, do tell.
- photon_off 16y agoThis is great. Right now, there are not too many metadata websites out there. Your site, AboutUs.org, Alexa and ilk, moreofit.com and ilk, and comment aggregation like BackType and UberVU, are all that come to mind when I think: "I have a URL, what can you tell me about it?"
