As consumers become more aware of the systematic basis prominent in many digital platforms, many are looking for alternatives that offer more comprehensive results -- cue You.com. The new search platform was designed to offer users an array of information that centers around "sorting and comparing results."
You.com is the brainchild of two former Salesforce employees who decided to abandon the linear list of links traditional search engines provided. In place of this traditional system, You.com will offer generic categories such as news and web results alongside individual sources like 'The New York Times.' Notably, the search engine isn't poised to answer basic questions as straightforwardly as Google, but will instead encourage users to search through pages to find the answer.
