This one came to me via Jimbo, and once I waited for it to load (which took forever), I was kind of intrigued. I think the idea is a bit off, and I would never use this for actual web searching (mostly due to the load speed and the poorly scrolling results), but it has potential. Sort of.

MsDewey.com

The two changes that would make this tolerable, would involve syndicating some useful search results in a readable and usefull space, and most importantly, adding some fun to the wait time. If I need to wait for Ms Dewey to “think” for 45 seconds everytime I run a search, at least have her start stripping to pass the time. THEN, we’d be in business here.

UPDATE
: Looks like Ms Dewey has in fact done the stripping thing in the past.

    This is perhaps the most worthless web 2.0 crap I have ever seen.

    Dumb site. I get 0 search results and the site takes a long time to load the first time.

    I wonder if somebody will come up with mshuey.com or mslouie.com.

    hey, this is the most advanced search engine available today. I find tons of results, very quickly. And I went to school with this girl in Joliet, and it seems to me that you are jealous of her instant success!!!! So you have to wait a few seconds for results, while she puts on a show. It’s a different kind of engine. And much better than just looking at a white screen while results load.
