Remember about half a month ago I reported on Become.com, a search engine I truely beleived in? Well I’m glad to announce today that Become.com has launched in Beta.
You need to register in-order to try it out, and IMHO once you do, you’ll be glad you did. As you can see in the screenshot (which you need to enlarge to see 
), the interface is much like Google, almost a shopping Google (Froogle), but the difference about this is that instead of PageRank, it uses something called “Affinity Index Ranking”, a patented algorithm which takes feedback from humans as we try out Become.com and applies it to its results.
I actually quite liked Become.com, and I’m sure this will be, if not a Google, at least an AskJeeves.
On a related note to Become.com, Jason Dowdell reports that Become.com’s Got Talent — John Glick, an ex Yahoo, has left Yahoo! to join Become.com. Wow! I can’t wait to see what the audience will think about Become.com.
