SearchChips Purchased, on Hold Until 2008
I first blogged about SearchChips last year. It's a "search and win" site a bit like Blingo and Winzy, where you can win prizes by using their search engine. This is just a quick update for people who might've signed up and not used SearchChips in a while (like me!), to let them know that SearchChips has been sold, the website has been pulled, and they're saying that there will be a new website launched next year, that all our chips will still be in our accounts, blah, blah, blah. You can read their FAQ if you want more info.
The SearchChips search engine (rebranded /powered by Ask.com) was OK, and they did give away over $100,000 in prizes, so if they come back, I'll continue to use them occasionally. But even though they're offered me the chance to get a free iPod, they're still facing a lot of competition, particularly from Winzy, Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. Prizes are cool, but for me the best reward from a search is a link to whatever it is I'm looking for.
