I noticed that people were saying how difficult it was to use the search provided on the sugar sites, I was going to post this tip in the comment but I thought more people might see it here.

luckysearch.com is an awesome search engine on par with google or dogpile, but instead of seeing countless ads or spending their advertising dollars on commercials you sign up and can win awesome prizes(ipods, wiis, etc) every time you search.

It's a great idea...no gimmicks, no scams, just rewards for searching and telling your friends to as well.Blackle.com?

Urchin customers were generally thrilled about the acquisition, because it was assumed that it meant great things were in store for all of Urchin's customers.mmmmm PINK!

PC Mag, Aug 7, 2007 Most people think of Google as a mechanical claw toy: They use it to fish a specific piece of information out of the giant pool of data we know as the Web. But turn that thinking upside down and you can see the hidden utility of the service.
