Search engines X Social Networking = Topicle.com

Former Google Product Manger, Steffen Mueller, has launched http://www.Topicle.com, a new search engine community.

Much like Wikipedia, this site allows anyone help create very targeted topical search engine.

Search Topicle for a search engine for a topic. If one exist, you can add your URL.
If you can’t find one that matches your topic, you can create one.

Each URL can be voted on by visitors. This can raise/lower the url rank in the search engine.
