TWERQ, The Evolution of Web Search

twerq-logo-big.gif

Lets get one thing clear, When a new project enters onto the radar i love to check it out and find out as much as i can about it. For the past few months i have been following a new Search Engine which is really exciting me and over every thing else works excellently and looks fantastic, It's called Twerq (Yes Twerq that's not a typo). The project headed by Wesley Long the founder of Twerq is a new kind of Search engine one that promises to change the way your internet searching forever and up to know i must admit I'm extremely impressed.

The Company
TWERQ is a robust tabbed search interface integrated directly into the web page. This uses less system
memory and offers you the advantage of containing all searches inside one browser window or tab. You
can refine and search for multiple search terms simultaneously with each set of results displaying in it's
own tab. This allows you to instantly flip through each set of results and quickly identify which search
term is most relevant.

This unique functionality is packed with many practical, time saving features. Drag and drop tab sorting let
you rearrange and visually group search results. Shortcuts and Quick Tags allow you to preset and refine
search terms that complete a search string on demand. Save and group searches to continue another time or
from another location without losing your place. Shortlist results, feeds, stories, images and video so that
you can access them anytime from anywhere. Create or join a Hive to share and collaborate information you
find with people from all over the world.

Feature Highlights
- Use less memory than multiple browser tabs or windows
- One browser window or tab for all searches.
- Instantly flip through multiple results, feeds, images and video.
- Reduce the repetition of re-entering search terms.
- Simultaneously search for multiple keywords or phrases.
- Quickly identify which keywords provide best results.
- Never lose your place or what you find.
- Save relevant information to access anytime from anywhere.
- Share & collaborate with people searching for the same thing.
- Aggregate information you find through a RSS Feed.
- Portable settings, searches and saved information.

What's great also as you may have read within my Journal on Twerq updates is the fact they have there own branded merchandise which people can buy such products include T-Shirts, Golf Shirts, Cups (which i have got to get), Mouse mat and even a wall clock which you can visit the store at (cafepress.com/twerqgear), twerq-beta-rc4-mug.gifWith time going by and Twerq on the uprise i can only assume that more Twerq gear will come available so why not become a Twerq just like me.
