I Love My Swicki » Eleven Reasons

Eleven reasons I love my Swicki

1. It tells me what users to my site are looking for, as well as what users of sites I like are looking for.
2. It lets me specify that people come to me for answers first, if I have the answers, then if I don't, it takes them elsewhere.
3. It has an odd/cool name. I like to say it. “Swicki.” I say it whenever I get email from swicki. “Swicki.” You say it. You'll like it. I promise. And if you don't, I'll give you your money back.
4. It allows users to compare results to Google. That's pretty openly saying, “hey, if you don't like these results, try these results.
5. Swicki gives me an approximate value of my Swicki based on how many searches are performed every day. Right now the approximate value of my Bain Books swicki is $5,563. And the approximate value of my You Are a Dog swicki is $56,327. I know these values are somewhat bogus, and nobody is offering to actually pay me this much for them, but I like having this scale to judge the value by. Money talks, as they say, even when it's not real money.
6. Because it's mine.
7. It lets me block results from any site I choose. So if, for instance, I choose to block results from The Cesar Millan Center, I could do that. I'm not going to do that, but I could if I wanted.
8. I can have as many swickis as I want, for whatever reason I want.
9. It's free. I like free.
10. I train my own swicki. So my swicki results are likely only as good as their trainer. Like a dog. Very cool. Maybe I should name my swickis differently. Call them Max and Sadie and Fred.
11. I get to create cool buzz cloud. And it changes. And I don't have to think about it much. It just is. Just like that. No sweat. Lovely.

That's eleven. There might be more, but I'm keeping it at eleven. Because I like eleven. Because it's two ones. And that's all. Blessings, and enjoy your search. May you find what you were looking for. Listening to “Blue Mind” by Alexi Murdoch from the album Time Without Consequence on
