About Googility

I created Googility.com in July of 2008 because I was frustrated by the results returned by regular search engines when looking for agility terms (Click the links to compare results for "A Frame" using Google with Googility) . So I took the web sites, blogs, forums, and individual web pages to which I've referred over the years and entered them into a Google Custom Search. This customized search engine limits its searches to pages only on those sites, giving much more useful results for every search I've tried.

I soon found that there are many agility related web sites and it would be a full time job to inspect them all and categorize them correctly. So I wrote this version of the site to allow anyone to add sites and update the information on existing sites.

Just like Wikipedia all edits and additions are moderated and changes are not applied to the database until they are approved. This is to prevent mischievous people or spammers from putting inappropriate sites or information in the database. As new content is added to Googility Google automatically updates its search engine, so searches are always up to date.

I'll also continue to add new sites and individual pages to Googility as I learn of them. If you know of a useful site or even a single page that doesn't show up in the search please add it. All changes and additions are moderated, in case spammers attempt to abuse this open policy.

This version of Googility was developed by Steve Schwarz using the Django application server. The actual search activity is performed using Google's Custom Search Engine (CSE) API. The website information stored in the Googility MySQL database is used to "feed" the CSE API. The site is hosted on SliceHost and is running on the Ubuntu operating sytem.

The site's icons are reduced versions of the Matte Blue and White Square Icons from Icons etc.. They have many sharp looking sets of icons available for free use.
