Rollyo Owns Me

I don't normally sit around thinking about how much the world needs another search engine -- better searches of all the "dark Web" info that's out there and untapped, sure, but I like Google/Yahoo /Ask just fine. However, I am hereby obsessed with Rollyo's customizable "trusted search," which promises to help me contain certain overgrown sections of my 2000-entry-plus bookmark list.

It's a simple, wonderful thing: Create a list of up to 25 sites to be perused for specific searches, give it a name, and next time you have a search to do, Rollyo will check only those sites you've specified. I'm working up a search on traditional music and folklore and am quite satisfied with the results so far -- and with the chance to utilize some useful sites I'd consigned to the pit o' bookmarkery. Not so much into Little Matty Graves and Barbara Allen? They've got celeb Rollyos up , too -- Debra Messing on shopping, for instance, and Brian Greene on string theory. You'll have fun with those.
