I caught an announcement about a new golf-centric search engine. It’s rather wordy, almost an overdose of jargon, but the concept is not so bad, and given time could be a really cool resource. Mind you, I’m not sure I believe what they generalize about search engines. Personally I still find google does the job when I need to find something. Anyhow, to quote from the press release:
EDMONDS, Wash., March 29 /PRNewswire/ — Cybergolf, the golf industry leader in online marketing tools, has launched Cybergolf Search (http://www.cybergolfsearch.com). This new search engine has been designed and developed to fill the missing need for relevant web search results for the golf industry and consumer.
Cybergolf Search is built using Vertical Search Technology (VST), developed by Cybergolf. VST enables refined searching coupled with embedded e-commerce tools. The creation of Cybergolf Search was prompted by golf courses’ growing frustration of not being found in mainstream search engines and golfers inability to quickly find relevant results such as golf courses.
The challenge with mainstream search engines is the broad application of search criteria. An example of this is when searching for “Seattle golf courses,” a mainstream search engine comes up with over 400,000 results. The first page includes an assortment of news stories, real estate brokers, and third-party tee-time sites but lacks the information requested - not one official website for a Seattle-area golf course appears.
