Gada logo

Gada.be is a new search engine by Chris Pirillo that lets you search for tagged information. It’s particularly interesting for finding specific information.

As the web continues to grow and as blogging brings more publishing power to the people, it will be increasingly necessary to federate highly-relevant search results to an end-user in a fast and convenient way.

Gada enables you to combine the top searches from several providers and get these results in a cleanly-styled page. In fact, it’s the kind of thing I wanted to do with YashNub to enable me to research any subject faster.

The Gada engine results are useful for mobile users. Gada outputs in OPML format and enables you to subscribe to any result set by RSS feed.

In Gada, the search results for a tag can be referenced by a new domain name. As an example, a search for yubnub will always be displayed within yubnub.gada.be. If you are acquainted with yubnub, then you already know that this can be further processed using yubnub commands as the resulting URL is tiny.

Besides, you can bookmark that nice Gada result page for easy reference at a later date.

Update:
Further enhancements I would like to see:
1. Per user search history with auto-complete
2. A combo-box for the above
3. A firefox toolbar…
4. Hi Chris, glad you dropped by. Keep up the good work! ;)

Onward netizens to the Web 2.0!

A revolution is under way. It is one of those times when technologies developed separately converge and congeal. From this emerges a new system that is better than the sum of its parts.

1. Web 2.0

There is currently a strong buzz about Web 2.0 – the next iteration of the Web. A good starting place to get a grasp of some of the related concepts is Tim O’Reilly’s article What Is Web 2.0.

The synergies of such new technologies is in a major state of flux and hence, I believe that the meaning of the term Web 2.0 will continue to evolve.
