Bloopsie - Strange Name, Cool Service
Posted by Jon Westfall in "SOFTWARE" @ 07:28 PM
"Boopsie is a mobile search provider. The Boopsie client is a thin, yet powerful, layer between you and what you are trying to find. Boopsie does not 'contain' the data; it creates and uses special indexes to find the data on other content providers' sites. ... In short - you can type less using Boopsie. Boopsie uses a multi-term prefix incremental search. As you type letters, Boopsie is dynamically searching to find what you are typing - and showing your results in real-time. So, you get immediate feedback and minimize spelling errors. Once you see what you are looking for, you click on it and Boopsie links you to the appropriate web page. Google, Yahoo and others use a traditional form based search. You have to type the whole set of words you are looking for and then hit a Go or Submit button. Then, you have to look thru a bunch of results to find what you're after."
It's new, it's FREE, and it looks pretty neat for quick searches. As Kris points out on SPT, speed may make the difference (Those on slower connections might find it hard to use). If you've got the speed, though, then you're all set!
