Yes. I admit it. I am a Googler, but it's ok. I belong to a support group.
So, I tried Clusty and found that it has been acquired by Yippy, Inc.
Surprise.
It worked really well for "Ellen Hopkins." The results were great (204) and easily accessible in their cloud folders such as Reviews, Simon & Schuster, Photos, and individual titles authored by Ellen Hopkins. There was a cloud folder for a Mary Ellen Hopkins as well, and she is not my topic, but since her results are in their own little cloud, she does not interfere with my research. I really like the way the results are organized in clusters, especially since it lets me get down to results that are not highly ranked. Do you suppose clusters will be called "yippies" in the future?
Oh, hey! This is good, too! I just tried Maggwire, and it's great for locating information which has appeared in magazines! I entered "Ellen Hopkins" and clicked on search. Maggwire indexes over 600 magazines so I was hopeful. I had no results for "This Week," but I got a hit when I clicked on the "This Month" tab, and with another click, I was taken instantly to the magazine article at the publisher's website: Top 10 Things I’ve Learned Since Becoming a Bestselling Author by Ellen Hopkins.
One more, one more....Oh, Bing, I guess, will do for a third. Nothing unusual there. Three tabs gave me the choice of Web, Wikipedia, and Images. I chose one of the images to upload. See upper right.
Time to ride.
