Convert

Thing 12: Rollyo

I'll admit it. I was avoiding Thing 12, as it looked less fun than so many of the other things. However, Rollyo has made a convert out of me.

At first, I couldn't see why I would want to make a personalized search engine. Then, I tested it out. I put a couple of my favorite 'go-to' storytime resource pages together and made a searchroll. Then I tried searching for 'blue song.' Except for the few sponsored links that appeared, everything was useful. Think of the thousands, (72,500,000 to be exact) of hits that come up on a standard Google search. In my Rollyo search - only 1400, much more manageable.

I will use this!
