LeapFish search engine is quite impressive and I like it

I have pretty substantial experience with search engines; and like you, use them everyday to find relevant content. I first heard about this new search engine called LeapFish a few months ago when I met Lena Shaw at the first Silicon Valley Tweetup. Leapfish is also sponsoring the upcoming Tweetup this Wednesday at the Hotel Valencia.

What I dig about Leapfish is that you can pretty much find every piece of content related to any specific search query. You can search Google, Yahoo, MSN and it also aggregates the top news from the AP, Youtube videos, Twitter trending topics, weather, etc. on the home page.

As usual, I did a search for “Michael Brito” and was delighted to see the common results I usually see when I Google myself; but also on the same page without any additional clicks I was able to see blog mentions, videos and images. It’s definitely a time saver and it has a clean interface.

What I would love to see and I am sure they are working on this as we speak is a the aggregation of twitter search, foursquare, Yelp and other social tools. Customization would also make LeapFish stand out from rest.

To learn more, you can tune in below and watch Robert Scoble interview CEO Ben Behrouzi as he talks about the future of LeapFish.

    But do we REALLY need yet another attempt at a search engine aggregating technology? What makes you think this one has legs?

    I just heard recently about Leapfish as well but it's neat. It even has the top Tweets on it and it's quite simple but it's complete.

    Not a bad idea…pretty nifty and close to getting the “real-time” status that all the big guns are looking for.

    I noticed you posted this about ad2action 5 months ago. I gotta tell you, I have been using ad2action and I love it. I am not sure the last time you checked it out but I love what they are doing. I would be curious what you think of the latest changes? I am using their auto responder pushing into posterous to automate my blogging into all the networks. This feature alone saves me so many hours I cannot believe it. think about it automated blog postings…I love this system

    Great! I just hope this new search engine is not like the others who promised so much with nothing to show for. I agree that there should not be a monopoly for Google as far as search is concerned.

    Thanks for the share!
