Roll your own search engine

Here is a fantastic idea. Rollyo is a search engine that allows the user to choose which sites are to be indexed and searched. I am currently looking through my bookmarks file and choosing the top 25 information management sites. It is possible to convert your bookmarks file to a search roll. Rollyo will index and return results from just these sites. I get to decide what sites I trust.

Rollyo has pre-selected search rolls from some subject experts and a browsable list of other notable rolls. I see rolls based on a single product (digital cameras) organization type (labour unions) or a specific subject (the possibilities are endless). It is possible to convert your bookmarks file to a search roll.

It takes just a few minutes to set up a roll. Take a look at my IM roll (under construction) at http://www.rollyo.com/profile.html?uid=1650.
