Teens Build Meta-Vertical Search Engine

logo.gifA couple weeks ago I posted to my blog asking if anyone had a recommendation for a meta-vertical search engine in the spirit of the early days of DogPile.

Today, I found this meta-vertical search engine written by a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old. Valleywag’s commentary on the launch of this new site is fairly entertaining. It’s a good stab at a mashup for a team of any age (not to mention they can’t drive a car). I dig that the site is customizable without registration. Can’t wait to see what these kids do a couple years from now. Perhaps they are the next Blake Ross.

    Srchr is also a good one (www.srchr.com)…first true search aggregator complete with a badge.

    Srchr.com is exactly the kind of site I was looking for in my original post on meta-vertical search engines. That’s great. Thanks!
