Ms. Dewey: search goddess or time-wasting temptress?

I’ve just discovered the Ms. Dewey search engine (thanks to Gideon Strauss, who calls the site the anti-Google), and I can’t decide whether I like her or not. Ms. Dewey is certainly more entertaining than those other plain vanilla search engine interfaces.

Ms. Dewey, Search Goddess

In the words of Adrants:

She’s saucy, she’s sexy, she even poses provocatively from time to time with a cute little notepad – but beware, like most hot chicks she is chatty as hell and gets a little needy when neglected (along the lines of “Hel-loooo? Type something here!”). Also, sometimes she sings. We don’t get embarrassed often, but we got embarrassed then.

In the end, Ms. Dewey is yet another Internet black hole to suck away your time. Not as highly addictive as the ultrainteractive kung fu remixer (thank goodness), but a nice diversion when you’re needing a break from ignoring all those media queries.

Update: fellow blogger brownpau suggests we see what happens when we ask Ms. Dewey about Janina Gavankar.

  1. Wow… excellent!

    Now, can’t they do something like that to replace higher ed PR folks who don’t have the time to reply to media inquiries?

    I type a question – get an answer… and even some attitude ;-)

    That was a good post! Thanks for sharing.

    Shhh. Not so loud, Karine. My boss might be reading. :)

    Glad you enjoyed.
