“Kick-Ass Search App Contest”

Think of it this way – American Idol for developers, with experts from Yahoo and Microsoft as the judges.

Please note: Doors are closed –Chitika is no longer accepting search app submissions.

After receiving hoards of amazing app submissions over the past three weeks…we had to narrow-down the pool. Chitika is thrilled to announce thetop five finalists who will be presenting at SES today, see below (*in no particular order):

Everyzing.com

Everyzing.com converts audio in video into a searchable format, making the popular media/resource of online video/radio more accessible and functional.

Middlespot.com

Middlespot.com enables searchers to manage, analyze, and save results over multiple sessions. Saved search results aggregate into a gallery—a personal work-pad—with pan and zoom capabilities. Middlespot.com also touts an interactive function; searchers are able to quickly share results with friends and colleagues.

wundrbar.com

Just tell Wundrbar what you want, starting with a keyword — something like hotel, fly, or calendar. Or if you just want to perform a regular old web search, no keyword necessary. Wundrbar will figure out what you want and send you to your results — or bring them back to you.

Nearbytweets.com

nearbytweets.com brings geographic searchability to the Twittersphere. Using Twitter profiles as a base-line, nearbytweets.com leverages various search platforms to provide a simple, b-to-c-focused interface for local networking and buzz marketing.

BackType.com

BackType is a conversational search engine funded by Y Combinator which enables users to search through millions of conversations from blogs and social media. Among BackType’s features, users are able to share results and set-up alerts for specific search terms, allowing both businesses and individuals to effectively and efficiently screen social media/user generated content.
