About Mike Cadogan
Thank you very much for these lists and the links to the other very useful resources. Could you indicate why you came to a different order c.q. give a short description of what you think is unique for/good about these search engines?
Readburner also seems a good source to me. Do you use it unfiltered? Or selectively follow certain persons/subjects?
Very edifying–it really is so worthwhile to compare lists.
You got me to take another look at ScienceRoll. It is promising, but needs advanced search features (unless I am simply missing them).
Very useful for the rest of us to see what actual doctors use!
hi mike, thanks for you comment to my best 2008 search engine post.
skimmed thru your sandnsurf wordpress one – some great stuff on there. i liked the ‘an eclectic rain of pixelated information’ post: good concept, eccentric guy – just what i like
.
also good to see sth coming out of WA – i once lived in perth for 2.5 years at the beginning of my life in OZ; that was one of my best times in this country.
thanks again, paul
