Again, it isn't a big deal to someone like me who is only using it occasionally to do some searching. The results are interesting and I am curious to see how people can influence the results. We will keep an eye on the payout situation. I have been following the thread on their blog recently.

I question whether incentivizing search is really the way to approach getting users to be social. Me.dium recently released a search engine that doesn't neccessitate voting or commenting. Me.dium’s Social Search, which leverages the Yahoo! Search BOSS platform, provides an entirely new level of information on top of traditional search. Me.dium’s Social Search harnesses the activity of the crowds to let you find information that has relevance based on what people are actually surfing right now. To become an influencer, simply download one of their social toolbars or sidebar. Me.dium’s technology lets the inherent activity of real people - not robotic crawlers - determine relevance. Me.dium’s Social Search results show what people are surfing and find interesting, right now. While other search engines base relevance on how content links across pages, Me.dium’s Social Search shows you the most popular news, reviews, pictures and videos that other people are actually looking at in relation to your search term. And as the activity of the people online changes, so do the search results. Scour seems like an interesting way to surf the web.
