Show HN: Bubblehunt – curated web search

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.

Hello friends!<p>Bubblehunt lets people find &amp; share quality resources. We are creating curated web search, where people can choose best results and help others to find it.<p>Considering extremely high growth of the web, it is becoming harder to find new &amp; quality resources. This is where Bubblehunt comes in. Finding interesting results becomes much easier as they are recommended by people, not dumb machines.<p>Every user can create a bubble with his favorite resources and provide best results for search queries based on their opinion. We&#x27;ve combined search and human opinions to let people cut through the noise of the web and share the best resources.<p>Get feedback please)

<i>Choose best results by clicking upvote button</i><p>The upvote button does not seem to appear on Firefox.

I did a couple searches, but shouldn&#x27;t the result be sorted by upvotes?

What is difference between this and google search?

It&#x27;s worth giving this idea a try.<p>1. I wish there was a different way to sign up, without needing Facebook or Twitter.<p>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?<p>3. Will this approach let you do something Google can&#x27;t? Why&#x2F;how?
