Just seen posted at Mixed Media Arts, a humstumpedia.jpgan organized search engine has been unleashed..At Stumpedia you submit sites for a particular search term and other Stumpedia site users have the ability to give a ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ on how relevant that search is.

Many keywords aren’t currently bringing up results, so why not head over there and add some relevant links? Remember your links have to be relevant otherwise they’ll more likely be voted a thumbs down.

Quote from Press Release:
Stumpedia.com will enable users around the world to share their knowledge and interests with one another and provide an alternative to traditional search. Users are encouraged to create custom content pages for any possible search term in the world and links that will help people find relevant results and answers to their search requests.
