Social Networking Through Search Engines

Even search engines are getting into the social networking action. Scour is more than just a search engine. Instead of showing its own results for websites, scour shows the results for three of the main search engines including the ranking of the site.

Not only does scour allow you to make money by searching for websites, you can also sign people up for scour and make money off of their searches. When these people sign up you can send them email if they choose to receive mail from other members and see who their friends are.

Another social aspect of Scour is the commenting and rating of sites. Each member is allowed to make a comment about an entry and give it a thumbs up or down. Each time a member marks a site or makes a comment, he earns points toward a shopping card.

If you want to find other members with similar interests then do a search for what you’re looking for and check the comments. You can then click on the profile of the member and get information the member has chosen to share with you. The member can also enter their pages for Twitter, MySpace, Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, FaceBook, LinkedIn, and Pownce.

Once you earn enough points searching, voting and signing up other friends you can cash in on a Visa card that can be used anywhere that Visa is accepted. At the time of this post you need 6,500 points to redeem one $25.00 card. That may seem like a lot, but if you do a lot of research on the web then it can add up. Even better, you can see different links from different search engines which can be beneficial to any research need.
