PreFound.com was mentioned in John Battelle’s Blog today. He mentioned we were in the Kentucky and called it “the land of Fark and Bourbon”. Well, we sure agree that Lexington’s own Fark.com can offer hours of entertainment and if you’re looking for great Kentucky Bourbon, try the new and improved Four Roses Single Barrel. It’s distilled just a few miles away in Lawrenceburg, KY and has a great Hall of Fame Master Distiller in Jim Rutledge. So John, if you ever visit us, we’ll sure give you the tour.

In another blog, another Kentucky connection crops up in Garrett French’s Search Engine Lowdown, as he gave us a quick mention today, as well. He’s a Kentucky refugee, so we always read his interesting and informative blog. Finally, we’ve been discussed in Web Metrics Guru and Andy Beal’s Marketing Pilgrim lately, and we have great respect for their views as well.

“Social Search” is the buzz-word for a lot of what PreFound.com and some others are doing with their technology. But, we like the term “human-indexed Web” better. Our vision is for an Internet that humans have indexed by using the power of human intellect. Then make that human-indexed information available to everyone using a simple search engine metaphor.

As we’ve discussed many times here, humans are just better at relating like things together and knowing what’s the good stuff from the not-so-good stuff compared to computers, regardless of the processing power thrown at the problem.

Join the revolution. Give us a hand in indexing the web. Hey, you might even get paid.
