Sproose

You are probably reading this blog because you clicked on the link on my Startup Profile e-newsletter. Thanks for clicking and reading my blog! My intention for this blog is to be a blog for the people in my Silicon Valley community including VCs, entrepreneurs, service providers, and anyone that is a fan of technology-based innovation.

I met Bob Pack and Stefan Groschupf two and half weeks ago when they came in for their 30-min "presentation auditions" to present at the November 2nd RHP Visibility Conference that I produced at Fenwick & West's office. They gave me their pitch, demonstrated their cool features, and reeled me in to register on their site. Their company Sproose, is the next generation user powered search.

There are others like Mahalo that also claim to be a user powered search engine. As you read in my Startup Profile e-newsletter, Sproose is a marriage between Internet search and social networking that empowers users to refine the search results, taking the ultimate power away from the computers and putting it back into the hands of humans. The more interaction and use of the one-click-vote by the users on Sproose, the more refined and targeted search results you can expect. Your opinions matter on Sproose.

You are welcome to post your own thoughts, experiences, and knowledge about this topic on Internet search. In fact, I hope you do!
