Wasn't Yahoo! something along similar lines when they started? With hand curated links and resources available for search?
It is interesting to see that a 20 year old idea is still found viable by many today while it was largely considered obsolete when Google came into picture.
Yes, today there are many curated catalogs)
We strive to ensure that each user can create their own search engine, own intranet, on which he and suitable on request people to obtain results from the sites selected by the people.
Bubblehunt lets people find & share quality resources. We are creating curated web search, where people can choose best results and help others to find it.
Considering extremely high growth of the web, it is becoming harder to find new & quality resources. This is where Bubblehunt comes in. Finding interesting results becomes much easier as they are recommended by people, not dumb machines.
Every user can create a bubble with his favorite resources and provide best results for search queries based on their opinion. We've combined search and human opinions to let people cut through the noise of the web and share the best resources.
It seems like a great idea. But how do you protect results from malicious users and spambots? How do you solve the positive feedback problem? And I can't see the upvote/downvote buttons (Chromium 47.
Also how is it different than Google or Bing, which capture people's surfing/clicking habits to find the best sites ?
Another way to reach similar result - is a use the curation people already done , i.e. forums, and particularly , forums with voting mechanisms. If you'll build a good forum search engine - that would be useful.
1. We will soon connect authorization via Google +
2. To add the resources is needed profile. However, each user can use the search without authorization.
This is necessary to minimize spam.
3. Yes, we will be able to search among the selected resources. We can thus see a variety of search results offered by the people. And get a lot of opinions on request.
Google rarely changes the results. You enter the "Design" and get the same sites today / tomorrow / next day. It popular resources become only more popular. We offer much more dynamic search, where people form the search results with the best resources)

- something called Jane Design that gave an internal server error when clicked,
- two links to some UI framework
The rest of the page was the output of a Google custom search.
So the idea sounds interesting but first impressions are definitely zero out of ten.

Light grey text on a light grey background is difficult to read.

We do not index the entire Internet. We only index the Intranets users.
We look not at the PageRank (ie number of links). We look at the opinions of people.
And our algorithms try to select the most best intranets of experts, opinion leaders and others. That is the most relevant people.

1. I wish there was a different way to sign up, without needing Facebook or Twitter.
2. Can I add resources, to see how it works, without signing up? Like try it out for a week (with cookies), and if I like it then I can sign up?
3. Will this approach let you do something Google can't? Why/how?
