This is a simple shot out to all those bloggers who’ve been kind enough to share Search Rascal with their readers. Thank you so much for the press and if there is anything we can do to return the favor, let me know!

Emily Chang - eHub

A great site that catalogs and briefly describes the new websites launching daily. Search Rascal got a great mention at the top of the April 17 list, and we were happy to see that the world of web start-ups was a little slow that week, keeping our site in the top 5 on eHub’s RSS feed for a few days.

100shiki.com

The site’s in Japanese, so although we don’t know the exact message that was posted on April 18, we are thankful for the publicity. We tried AltaVista’s Babel Fish translator and figured out a bit about the post — it’s a basic FYI as to what Search Rascal is all about.

Japan.Internet.com

This site looks to be a Japanese search engine. We got a special post in the Business News section on April 19. Again, we’re not entirely sure what the site or post is about, but looks like a nice commentary on the site, specifically about how it is a useful tool for the SEO crowd.

KillerStartups.com

KillerStartups provides detailed info and commentary about the all of the newest web startups. Their review was mostly positive, although they had some questions about our revenue-generating model and stickiness. We’re figuring out those two key pieces of the puzzle as I write… we’d love feedback on the features you all are looking for.

Fogliata.net

Another site not in English (I really need to learn a language other than Spanish, huh?!?), Fogliata posted an informational article about our new service.

UglyChart.com

We got a link mention in Ugly Chart’s April 10 links post.

StandardSociety.com

Another nice writeup about Search Rascal. They had some questions about how we differ from other sites that do the same thing — however we’ve actually not found another site that does what our site can do. Most competitors track a specific URL’s performance in a search ranking, not the movement of URLs within specific keyword searches. The distinction may be subtle, but we think it’s pretty meaningful.

I’d love to have someone who can read Japanese online get in touch to let us know what’s being said on those sites. They are sending a lot of traffic our way, and it would be good to get some feedback from Japanese users.

I see some searches that appear to be in a Japanese character set, but I have no idea if they are playing friendly with the site or not.
