Rollyo - Thing 12 and counting...

Here's the link to my search on Rollyo for books -- I started with a list of top sites recommended by http://books.nettop20.com/and it's "vendor" heavy -- so if I was to edit it, I'd add more review sites and less commercial -- although when I tried a search in it, sponsored sites were added anyways...but an interesting premise nonetheless.

Overall--this reminds me of the specialty search engines and the "vertical" searching that was touted a few years ago -- but with the new 2.0 "create your own" aspect. Interesting, but would I actually use it? I doubt it -- it's one more site to bookmark, tweak, and personalize; but I'm about personalized out at many of the sites I visit and like the old, anonymous experience once in awhile! But that's my Monday personality coming out, so we'll see come the end of the week how I feel...
