Hello all, I updated Gappon.com and now it besides Rapidshare it also searches for MegaUpload, Badongo, Sendspace, MediaFire & zShare files! Check it out and let me know what you think. THX!
Sorry to have a different opinion than yours, but i don't see how gappon filters any junk results. Gappon is just a cheap copy of shareminer, it doesn't even combine various rabbits. Besides, it targets google coop in a try to get some bucks from adsense. Sorry to be so direct, but that site doesn't ad anything at all. BTW shareminer is up On the other hand, this other site rocks: http://www.leakr.info/ and it's nice to see some people trying to make some improvements and come up with some innovative ideas. Just my opinion.
nice design... but the search results are totally weird... I searched for ipods and got no results for where I could buy one or anything similar to what would have been displayed on a leading SE like Google or Yahoo. What's up with that? Is there something I'm missing??
Hello pedrotuga! I accept your opinion, but I must say that Gappon does filter out about 1000 web sites that have nothing to do with rapidshare, and I am adding more every day. I also mentioned that leakr.info was cool, so at least we agree on that. As for making money...nope, I make 10 cents a day I really made the site for me, and people seem to like it, the same way as people like your shareminer. Btw I don’t think too highly of shareminer either. I really do appreciate your comment though (no joke) and wish you the best with shareminer.
That’s on purpose; this is a rapidshare search engine, its search for rapidshare files, not for consumer electronics.
Nice to see that we can discuss this on a civilized way That's, in fact, a valid argument, but I should say that i strongly doubt you can effectively improve the relevance of the results by manually sorting websites. The thing with shareminer is not that is complicated, 'advanced' nor it uses a somehow secret method, those are misassumptions... It was just an idea that i had and that I, just like you, thought it could come in hand to me and to a lot of other people. As it turned out, A LOT of people did find it useful. I used exploseek.com on a regular basis, but tihngs were changing, so there was time for shareminer to show up. Just that. I don't intend to create rivals or whatsoever. I just don't see the point of about 50 shareminer clones out there. I think the internet community in general has more to profit if new ideas show up, that's all. In fact I'm working on a new site that puts in practice yet another new search concept. For pure investigation reasons we can write down he date it comes down and then wait and see how long will it takes for the first five clones to show up. My guess is 2-3 months. BTW Here are some other examples of implementations of new ideas. http://www.mp3salad.com/ http://skreemr.com/ I think these sites rock, and i would like to see more different stuff.
I've never seen anything like this before! A rapidshare search!!! Guess I am still a noobie Your search engine is GREAT, man! Kudos Great results. Thanks for creating such a fantastic thingy!
site design is simply awesome buddy, really freshing but about the searching.. its just a custom filter of google.com.. it would have been better if it can actually really spider and index just rapidshare (or any other file sharing sites) links. Just my 2 cents you know still great work - Yunus
Of course we can , dude your site (no matter what my personal felling are) came out in WIRED, and for me, that is BIG! And for this you have my respect. I know there are a lot of clones, DaleYa for example is an exact clone of your site, I (if there is interest of course) will continue to make may site better and defenently try "not to imitate but innovate" (I heard this some were ) If it’s useful as shareminer is to people, I give it a month One more thing though; now that we are speaking civilized I still expect you to post your 2 cents about Gappon the next time I announce that i "upgraded" it. Cherrs!
Thanks ezinestein & IndianWebMaster!!! @Brainwaves: THX 2 you to you too, and regarding the search I too believe that the search could be better and I definitely plan to make it better (I have a few ideas up my sleeve
Here's my end-user analysis of your site: Nice and simple and intuitive design, that's very important. In the user interface I would prefer checkboxes, this way the searches are too limited in my opinion, the user wants more immediate power, I am not picturing a user looking for a files in rapidshare, then in megaupload, then in sendspace, etc. He/she will get bored after the first two tries. Another big minus is the results page. It does not show the "view cache" links. That will keep you away from like 40% of the links.
This isn't really very accurate as websites containing no rapidshare links show up as results. I also like the design
I'm still debating about the checkboxes, I personally don't like them but I’ll have to see what people say. View cache - The though never came to my mind before Again thanks for your input.
To see if "pedrotuga" might be right I’m putting up a poll so you guys (the end users) can tell me if I should add checkboxes to Gappon.com so you can search multiple services (rapidshare, megaupload....) at the same time, or is it enough the way it is - having to switch from one service to the next. Votes appreciated, THX!
Thank you for share I use this two www.sharingengines.com Search sites and a huge forum www.sharingrapid.com Search files and you can download up 5 files Rapidshare and Megaupload for free.
