LeapFish was recently featured by MediaPost, a top online media, marketing and advertising news site, as “iGoogle with a Social Twist.” On November 5th Mediapost covered the launch of LeapFish 2.0, the release of LeapFish’s new search engine that captures multimedia, social and real-time search.
Excerpts from the article:
MediaPost expressed “If you haven’t heard about LeapFish, you soon will” and reported on the numerous innovations that LeapFish introduced to the burgeoning real-time and social search space.
Here is what MediaPost had to say about the new LeapFish Personalized HomePage; “Registering as a member allows you to customize the home page with widgets, Facebook and Twitter feeds. In fact, more than 25 widgets will become available today, including Celebrity News, Hulu, The Onion, and Yahoo Sports. Those who log in can build a social media profile, a sort of LinkedIn for social media.”
MediaPost also covered LeapFish’s new search engine stating; “LeapFish offers two search options — traditional and real-time — to provide a variety of perspectives on news and events happening across the Web. News pulls from a variety of sites. The real-time results from Twitter update as they are posted.”

Read the Mediapost article. Sounds favorable to LeapFish, which is fine. I think it still remains to be seen how the entire search industry pans out over the next few months before we jump to the fact that LeapFish is it.
Like the real-time search, my profile page had some issues but overall a good start.

Has some cool features but seems like they need to work on some issues. Overall I liked it.

I like the homepage but igoogle overpowers LeapFish in regards to available widgets.
The entire industry does have a lot of evolving to do.
LeapFish will continue to evolve with search and with the new web by adding more providers, more features and more integrations of new web functions.
Thank you for the feedback.

James,
You are correct in that iGoogle has more homepage widgets compared to LeapFish, but we plan to catch up
