theagoo - meta-social bookmark search engine

Filed under: tags, search

theagoo is the latest meta-bookmark search engine, it searches across 10 social bookmark sites…basically it searches the human indexed web.
The results don’t tell you which hits came from which service and which tags were used, I’d like to keep discovering from the search results.
I’d also like to search for a tag, then within a tag, Technorati Tags doesn’t do the second bit, but then again Technorati Tag is more focused on the blog category tag part of the tagosphere.

So let’s see how many of these type of services have bitten the dust:

- Wink (used to be a meta-search bookmark engine as well as a social bookmark service, but now it is a people search engine)
- gutentag
- Gataga
- Tagosphere
- Tagground

Who’s still around:
- TagJag
- Tagbert
- TagCentral
- rel8tr
- keotag
- tagfetch
- Tagland
- TagBulb

NOTE: not all these are focused just on social website bookmarks, some include blog tags, photo’s, video’s, basically the whole tagosphere.
