Developer Derek Franklin writes in to tell us about Whonu, his "discovery engine."
Why did I create/develop whonu? Mainly it was because I saw the need for a tool that tapped into the power of multiple search engines because, in my personal quest for information online, I discovered that while there were many search technologies out there, each had their own definite strengths and weaknesses.
I felt that if I could bring together the power of all these great search tools into a single interface, I just might have the research, discovery, idea-generating tool I've been looking for. Thus, whonu.com was born.
Whonu is an interesting take on search that seems to work pretty darn well.
