Clusty

I mentioned I switched to Clusty [1], but I want to go into depth as to why I switched to Clusty [2].

I actually found Google [3] to be rather poor at finding particular entries. I try to do a search for “tower” [4] and Google would maybe return a entry or two, but almost never the one I was looking for. When I did a test at Clusty though—it returned a plethora of results [5], much better than Google (although now Google is returning more results [6], they still aren't as good as Clusty).

Google is also loosing its appeal to me. What with the poor results of AdSense [7], its inability to search my site properly, and … well … I like the way Clusty clusters results [8] (hense the name). And if that means Google kicks me out of Google AdSense [9], oh well … it wasn't paying that much anyway.
