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
