What the heck is Windizzi?

 

Is Windizzi a movie, a carnival ride, a sexy cocktail or a new permutation of Texas Hold 'em?  Nope, it isn't any of these things ....

Windizzi is a relatively new search engine.  The first thing I thought when I heard about Windizzi was "oh boy, another search engine -- whoop-dee-do -- who needs another one?".  Well, after spending some time trying Windizzi out with all kinds of search queries, I was very much impressed.

This lens will explore Windizzi. 

That's http://www.windizzi.com 

It sounds like it looks. 

 

Windizzi Poll 

Windizzi is dubbed to be a co-op. The tagline of the site is:
The search engine that's owned by you. How big will windizzi get?

Loading poll. Please Wait...

Who is Windizzi's Founder? 

Taken in part from: http://www.adamblair.com





The Founder of Windizzi is Adam Blair (founder of the Adam Blair Group) who is a 27 year old e-commerce entrepreneur and former Professional Racing Driver (that's him smiling on the left).

Behind the scenes Adam's team look after his thousands of Clients in the UK and around the World.

See Adam's most famous product at... www.SpeedCameraLocator.com

Why would Adam take on Google? 

Adam seems JUST like the type of person that could take on Google -- he's a former Professional Race Car Driver for crying out loud! What other type of person would be a better fit? I can't think of many especially since he had ventured into the world of being a web entrepreneur. To me, that's a cool combination.

Here's what Adam thought:

"When I heard about how much money the founders of Google made when it floated on the stock exchange, my reaction was to wonder...

Is it possible to create 'another Google'?

Everyone keeps telling me " NO ! " but I just don't care because this is an exciting venture and I would like to invite you to become a part of it.

I want to create a search engine that everyone in the world has heard of and which millions of people use as their home page for Internet searches!

If it works both me and you (if you decide to use windizzi) -- will earn handsomely.

How could I earn handsomely? What's in it for me? 

No promises ... but a possibility

Adam is bringing his windizzi concept to the world via a co-op, viral marketing method. According to him, this is the way to go. What does it cost to you? Nothing, really. Just a little search engine time and hopefully some word-of-mouth. Here's how it works.

Here's what Adam's talking about:

"I want to make windizzi a co-operative so that as a user, YOU get to own a small piece of the value of the company.

That might not sound that amazing until you consider that when Google floated as a public company, they sold for $23 Billion and at the time of writing Yahoo has a market valuation of $37.92 Billion.

In the case of Google, hundreds of employees with TINY stock options were made millionaires overnight.

Now I am NOT promising that this will happen to you, but it COULD if we make this thing spread like wild-fire across the Internet."

Search Results in a "coat and tie" - Adam's test for your to try 

I've always been a big fan of Google -- but I am willing to take on Adam's challenge of trying to do a comparison:

Can windizzi really give BETTER Search Results than Google?

Try this:
  1. Open 2 web browsers

  2. Open windizzi in one browser and Google (or any other search engine you usually use) in the other

  3. Perform the same 10 searches on each site
Compare which site provides you with the best results and take note.

Try ten searches back-to-back and look and see if you think windizzi produces better Search results than Google.

Then, if you agree that:

1) windizzi gives better quality and more up to date results than Google

...and

2) The "next generation" Search Technology used by windizzi makes surfing far easier and much more fun

or you are not 100% sure, but think that windizzi could be better, then make windizzi your home page and default Search Engine for 3 days.

After the 3 days, you will be a windizzi convert, I'm staking my name on it!

I, Gkygrl, am in the process of taking this 3-day challenge. I was impressed with the search results and the thumbnail images. Adam calls this: "Next Generation" Search Technology -- I call them thumbnails (and am happy to see them there).

Update - day 3:
So far, I love the thumbnails but am finding that the search engine just cannot replace my Google. I can't NOT have Google as my homepage. I've tried many types of searches and am finding Google superior in the search results over windizzi at this point. I would love Google to adopt the thumbnails - that's cool.

My assessment: windizzi has a large mountain to climb. Good luck with that!
