I did a couple searches, but shouldn't the result be sorted by upvotes?
We made simple algorithms is at the top should be results primarily based on upvoting. We fix this, and we will improve in the future)

#23What is difference between this and google search?
In google running as PageRank. We use PeopleRank)
We do not index the entire Internet. We only index the Intranets users.
We look not at the PageRank (ie number of links). We look at the opinions of people.
And our algorithms try to select the most best intranets of experts, opinion leaders and others. That is the most relevant people.

#24Hello friends! Bubblehunt lets people find & share quality resources. We are creating curated web search, where people can choose best results and help others to find it. Considering extremely high growth of the web, it is becoming harder to find new & quality resources. This is where Bubblehunt comes in. Finding interesting results becomes much easier as they are recommended by people, not dumb machines. Every user…
I searched for flat leather sandals and the first three things on the results page were: - something called Jane Design that gave an internal server error when clicked, - two links to some UI framework The rest of the page was the output of a Google custom search. So the idea sounds interesting but first impressions are definitely zero out of ten.
I completely agree)
The work is still very much)

Do I really have to have a Facebook or Twitter account?
Yes, this is necessary to reduce the risk of spam and create a large number of bots.

#26It's worth giving this idea a try. 1. I wish there was a different way to sign up, without needing Facebook or Twitter. 2. Can I add resources, to see how it works, without signing up? Like try it out for a week (with cookies), and if I like it then I can sign up? 3. Will this approach let you do something Google can't? Why/how?
Hi!)
1. We will soon connect authorization via Google +
2. To add the resources is needed profile. However, each user can use the search without authorization. This is necessary to minimize spam.
3. Yes, we will be able to search among the selected resources. We can thus see a variety of search results offered by the people. And get a lot of opinions on request.
Google rarely changes the results. You enter the "Design" and get the same sites today / tomorrow / next day. It popular resources become only more popular. We offer much more dynamic search, where people form the search results with the best resources)
