Kim is a little concerned that her geology-themed Googling keeps on bringing up stuff that she herself has written. This might have something to do with her blog being a top-notch source of geological insight, of course (someone is clearly going to have to work on her raging egomaniac chops, or the internet is going to eat her up). Still, it did remind me of an idea that I toyed with when I first heard of Google’s funky custom search function, which basically allows you to tune a search so that it only looks through, or prioritises, pages from what you deem to be the worth corners of the internet. Therefore, I present the Geology Search Engine:
Thus far, I’ve only added a handful of sites, like the USGS and NASA’s Earth observatory. To be useful, it really needs more, so if you think this might be a good idea feel free to suggest some, or lots. If it works out, it’s another thing to try and squeeze into the sidebar, of course…
