We’re excited with this blog entry to announce the most ambitious update to surchur in our history - we are moving to a massively social platform that will allow our users to contribute to our results and will be much more complete in scanning the web for what is popular based on information from tweets, digg and other socially driven sites. The new “popular” tab on our search pages will give you an up to date view of the hottest pages on the Internet and will allow users to contribute by voting up and commenting on the most popular URLs and topics on the web.

This update also comes with the great news that our growth has been astounding over the past several months- we have more than doubled every month since we launched the first of our most recent updates, the surchmeter, in May and helping us to quickly shoot past the million visitor per month mark and well on our way to 2 million.

We will continue to update you with additional news about the new features over the coming days and weeks, but for now we’d like to thank all of our users for the joy of having our website valued as a real time search and discover destination. And finally, we’d encourage you to try out the newest updates to surchur by visiting the homepage and doing a surch of your own or visiting one of the hottopics or catchingfire links.

Thank you once again to everyone for helping grow our community,

Todd Hogan
