I liked Rollyo because it allowed for a much cleaner search. For example I did a search for purses using Debra Messing’s Online Shopping search and found strong and relevant websites. I made my own list of websites that I shop (or pretend shop) on often to see how the site works from the creative side. After doing this I was a little confused. I couldn’t find a way to do a Rollyo search from my list of websites without going into the dashboard function. Is there a more direct way to access what I have designed? After finding my Rollyo search function I found that it worked alright but would probably prove more effective for news type searches as opposed to shopping.
I can see Rollyo being used in the library setting in a variety of ways. A library could compile, for example, a list of websites that are acceptable for a younger population allowing for a safer internet search environment. This would be more useful in school library media centers. Also, a library could build their own reference resource with the best of the best, or most often used resources. This would allow customers to search the web and know they are accessing materials that come recommended by professionals who are familiar with reference resources.

Very interesting thoughts on Rollyo, especially the creation of a safe serach haven for children.
