Get more than just results with your searches
Two new search engines:
Blingo.com gives away free stuff if you do a search one of several randomly selected times during the day. It uses the search results from Google, which has never given me anything for using their search. They did give me free email though, so that’s awesome.
A9.com, Amazon.com’s search engine. It’s super-customizable, and if you use it for a while you’ll get 1.57% off your purchases at Amazon.com. It’s not much, but if you combine it with the 1% back you should at least be earning on your credit card, you’re almost up to the average inflation rate of 3%. You can also search the Yellow Pages and stuff like that… And there’s the part where it shows you the store you’re looking for with pictures all up and down the street. It’ll store searches for you, as well as import your bookmarks so you can access them from any computer (kind of like del.icio.us). It’s nice when you want to bookmark something, but don’t want the whole world to know you’re bookmarking it (useful for planning surprise parties, or purchasing gifts).
