Google mashed me up

Letters Plug o't' day

SUBJECT: SearchMash

Funnily enough, there was already a project called SearchMash around before Google launched theirs:

http://mashproxy.com/search

I'm the author of the original open-source version, and by a strange coincidence, I was also the first person to discover their site was live. They'd not publicized it and I only found it when I was googling for references to mine:

http://blog.outer-court.com/forum/69943.html

Anyway, mine's a lot more exciting than theirs. :) It fetches all the links from the results, makes sure they're not dead or stale, and shows you a preview, all using a Java applet.

A plug would be lovely, I'm trying to get an audience for my project. Let me know if you'd like more info.

cheers,

Pete Warden

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
