Christine over at Mommy Matters recently posted about Winzy – a fun search engine that actually gives back to the community. I wasn’t convinced to join up until she won an Ipod. I figured, what the heck – so I signed up and have been trying it out. So far, the search results are comparable to google, and I haven’t noticed a lot of spam or anything. (Though, when I signed up I used an old email address that I always use for stuff like that… for things that might end up getting annoying in the long run.)
I’ve been using it as my primary search engine and have been winning some Winzy Points.. which apparently are good for entries into the end-of-the-month drawing for the big prize. I think I saw on there that March’s prize will be $500. Hard to pass that up, I think.
If you wanna try it – leave me a comment and let me know how you do. I’ll keep you posted and let you know if I win anything cool or whatnot.
Hat tip to Christine - It’s always hard to pass up free stuff.

I signed up and everytime I get a few points I do the spinning game and loose them! It’s addicting!
