Finday increases your productivity through the searches

Finday increases your productivity through the searches.

The launch of a website is just like the hours of build up before a storm. The atmosphere is charged with electricity whilst last-minute changes are being made, and the anticipation of knowing what the reaction of the users will be grows and grows as the echo of the first claps of thunder can be heard on the horizon. But in these moments that are so loaded with tension, there is also a certain sensation of calm, a strange peace that emerges from the certainty of having worked hard and having worked effectively.

Finday has been in incubation for more than a year, and now as it is just about to receive the public’s verdict, we realize the great leap forward that the website has seen since its first conception up to its current stage (albeit still the Beta version, let’s keep it real).

Finday includes a technical data file of each of the registered webs

Finday is a directory of websites that has been designed to improve your experience of Internet searching. It uses the powerful Google search engine in order to give you the most accurate search results, but also allows you to navigate through its hundreds of categories in order to find the websites that you need in any given moment.

At this stage of technological development, following the years of Internet growth, after having seen the rise and fall of “dot com” businesses, in this globalized world, it can often seem that every new idea has already been invented, designed and put into place. However, there is still plenty of room for improvement; there are still many new ideas to explore in all arenas of the online world. And that includes the terrain of search engines.

The problem is how to improve Internet searches when neither Microsoft nor Yahoo! have been able to compete with Google, both having reached the conclusion that the battle for premiership in this sector is already essentially lost. The truth is that there is no real reason why internet users should stop using something that not only works, but that works very well, for another system with fewer resources and less mileage. The answer lies, perhaps, in going beyond the search itself, and instead providing the user with new features that raise the quality. (more…)
