The different flavors of simultaneous invention shared in the thread makes me think there's some kind of underlying shared need/value in this sort of thing!
Yes, the multisearch option should open all of the checked options in new tabs. Some browsers or incognito modes will block this by default, so a user may have to enable on their end if that's functionality they care about. Firefox, for example, should notify you that it blocked popups and ask you if you want it to keep doing that same thing moving forward. This feature is also not as relevant on mobile. I can troubleshoot further if that's not working as intended. I considered just removing multisearch, but I do personally use it when I want to check regular search and an LLM in one go, which is actually pretty often. (Plus I achieve tab overflow at least 3x faster! xD)
Ty for the heads up. I think I identified the issue (not, sure why it was affecting some users and not others). Updated! Might take a little time to propagate.
Some of the options, for example, ReelGood, I personally use all the time, but I’m not sure how common that is for others.
I’m sure there are searches (maybe things like arxiv, Google Translate, Google Scholar, Spotify, etc.) that other people use more often. I initially opted to keep things tidy (and "'simple'") vs comprehensive, but I will add those and others if anyone wants them!
Yeah, for me, it's just a _little_ bit better of a search experience. Would not expect that the be the case for everyone. Was wondering if that would actually be the case for _most_ people. Glad to see some folks some see value in it.
Yes. Good point. I don't mean to suggest the content marketing won't work.
Priceonmonics' bests posts (say, over 30k views) have a strong data-driven component combined with great writing.
One of Priceonomics' tag lines is "DATA. LONGFORM CONTENT. ANALYSIS." They excel at data crawling and visualization. Combine that capability with talented storytellers, give those writers the freedom to explore a variety of topics, and you've got a winning recipe for repeated virality.
A plumbing company is a great example. You can write great plumbing content, (and definitely still accomplish your goal of getting people with plumbing-related pain points into your funnel or driving awareness for your business) but it's tough to make that type of content spread consistently, even when well-crafted.
Combining the data gathering + analysis/visualization + great writing for homerun content that generates leads on a consistent basis is the challenge I'm talking about specifically. Moreover, the plumbing company does not likely have a marketing department with all 3 of those skills sets represented.
Priceonomics just announced their 'Data Studio' offering to help companies in that position (and there are plenty of them!).
Obviously a great guide for duplicating what Priceonomics does at your own company. Interested to see how the Data Studio works as an outsourced content service.
Love Priceonomics blog posts. Always high-quality. Always interesting.
I've also been using Tracker since the soft launch. It's a nice clean snapshot of day to day blog performance.
I'm interested to see how the Priceonomics Data Studio concept mentioned in the handbook intro works. It sounds like a good idea, but I do think there will be challenges with outsourcing the Priceonomics content marketing strategy to other businesses.
Someone from Priceonomics can chime in here, but it seems like they have the luxury of identifying diverse topics that are likely to go viral, then go out and acquire data specifically for that topic, tell a story, then move on to the next topic (and perhaps even a different audience).
Other businesses are less flexible. They have to start with a limited amount of data, then use it to tell many stories, week after week.
Not saying it won't work. I'm sure it will. Just interested to see how the data gathering, analysis, and storytelling sides of things all come together in the Priceonomics Data Studio offering.
