Well, I'm going to give this a shot. As all of you must know, these "free" services are not actually free. You pay in time, and your attention, wading through the garbage presented to you, because some shmo paid extra money to Yahoo or MSN to get a better placement in the listings.

I think this is a great idea. And although this may not be the final killer app, true correlation of data eventually will be.

Regardless, I'm going to see how well this one works...

The value in Grokker2 is not that it is just a front end for search engines but in it categorization and analytical presentation of the data. I do not think it is for just searching the web, but is a tool for analysing & categorizing data from the web. You really have to be into data mining to appreciate what this tool does. If you are just a Googler, then its not for you Just MHO.

It's not a search engine. Read the article again. It takes thousands of search results and arrays them into categories that you can filter, organize, post, map, etc. It plugs-in to search engines. So you are not paying for a search engine. That part is free still. But don't even pay. Try it for free. I have. It kicks.

its a joke that a company thnk theres going to be a demand for this search engine when there loads of others ones like Alexa.com and alot of simliar ones

I do not understand why it should be so high of a price just for a search engine when there are a lot of other search engines that are free . Why should we pay for a service when the only difference that I can see is Grokker splits the searches into different catagories and the others do not , big deal . I can see 10.00 but not any more I would rather use Google .

maybe it's easy to crack this software.

Why should I have to pay for a search when there as so many search engines out there that I have been using for the past 10 years or so? I just don't undestand!!!!
