What do you think ? Do you think this approach is better than Google ?
When you do a Google search, before you scroll down there's a good chance your screen is mostly just filled up with ads. If this were to launch today, would you use it ? Like, seriously use it ? Sure, it's accessible. But there's a thick layer of commercial imperatives, quality judgments and assumptions that lie between you and the information that you get to see.
Leap.it results come up displayed on cards. For each search, it integrates social links, searching into Twitter streams, with real-time news and historical information. It's like Google, plus Google News, rolled in with a Twitter search. If you log in and create an account you can curate and share your own search 'perspectives' with others.
