Wowd depends upon your browser history for real-time search

Wowd is the latest real-time search engine to arrive in the market.

The service requires contribution from the users to make it work.

Users are required to download their application which monitors the website being visited on your computer.

The data is shared across all the users and is used to generate relevant search results.

Ranking of web pages is decided by how many times the page has been visited by the service users.

The developers promise full privacy with this controversial approach. You get the ability to choose what data is shared.

Whatever they might promise… Most uses are still going to be uncomfortable with the idea of running an application that monitors their web browsing.

The concept however is still pretty cool. You can visit their homepage to see the hottest links being viewed by the users who have the application installed on their machines.
