"Did you Mean" my company?
Companies can EgoGoogle to see if Google turns them up as a spelling correction for multiple terms. Of course, some companies will display as top results even when the terms are separated.
Free Live Calls
Windows Live Local offers free calls for listed businesses. Search and find a business, enter your phone number, and Live will call both parties. In beta, it's available only in the US and cell phone charges still apply. Resource Shelf gives it thumbs-up on functionality, but speculates it could be the 'click-fraud' (annoy-competitors-to-death weapon).

Melanie,
I think some wires got crossed somewhere along the line. I am dumbfounder/ceo of Dumbfind/Searchles and we are planning on integrating Dumbfind with Searchles to create a social search engine, but have no plans to integrate Pligg. I hadn't even heard of Pligg until just now. But now that I have checked Pligg out, that might be a good idea... Have already searchled it!

Dumbfounder,
Thanks for that totally worthless spam. I hope your business goes down the tubes (down to your level of integrity).
.benny.
thanks benny, it's nice to have insane fans
I agree with Benny, dumbfounder stop spamming all of the blogs, its getting a little annoying. Thanks
thanks Frank.
fyi, to all the reasonable people out there, Melanie made a mistake before and said that Searchles was integrating Pligg into its product. This is not the case. (this tidbit also picked up as fact here: http://www.siliconbeat.com/entries/2006/07/07/the_locust_swarm_of_bookmark_sites_activeweave_blue_dot_searchles.html)
I corrected her. She corrected the entry (but made no mention of the correction). I was flamed. I responded. I was flamed again. Perhaps I am making the situation worse, but felt I needed to respond to all the hate.
Dumbfounder;
I like Searchles. I will try dumbfounder next.
dumbfind is not bad. Very interesting.
What will the two combined be called??
thanks guys
We don't have any concrete plans to change either of the names at this point. You will start to see cross-pollination of features like searching the web on searchles, and tags from searchles showing up on Dumbfind in the next few months.
(fyi, it used to say that we were integrating with Pligg in the "roundup" which is why I posted the clarification above)
