Thing 15: Rollyo

Ewww. I have to admit, Rollyo doesn’t really do it for me. I created a profile, created my own snazzy “Searchroll” and played around with it…not too impressed. Sorry Neflin 23 things but I’m not rollin’ with the Rollyo.

I created a frugal shopping Searchroll and added several of my favorite online deal sites and blogs. Tried a few searches and got very strange irrelevant hits. I tried "stroller" and "wii" certainly things that should come up with some interesting results, no?

The results were almost what I was looking for but not quite there. Perhaps I’m a novice user…perhaps I’ve got no patience today (maybe it’s the clouds) but I’m not sold on it. The ads kind of threw me too. Personally, I think the results page is little too commercial heavy for me to recommend it to patrons. Maybe it’s my sour mood, I dunno. Libraries could certainly give it a whirl but I wouldn't push it.

Here’s my profile if you want to try my Searchroll out. While you're at it, find me some great deals, ok?
