Thing 12: Rollyo

I've spent some time with Rollyo, and looked at other people's search rolls, as well as creating a few of my own. It seems what this tool does, is turn your favorite bookmarks into a searchable entity. Of course mine all had to do with either knitting, or bicycles, my current passions. I then went back and tried to search for stuff that I knew to be available on the sites that I had "rolled." The results that came back were interfiled with a lot of "Sponsored Links," and the layout was not easy to follow. On my Mac, using Safari 3, the layout was particularly awkward. It looks better using Internet Explorer.

For the sort of searches that I typically do, I think Google is far superior, however, it might be a good way to manage the content of some favorite blogs, or sites with collections, such as recipes.

I suspect this will not be a "thing" that I will spend much time with, beyond this project!
