Hey Fans!
We are gearing up for the Superbowl weekend and we thought it would be appropriate to go down memory lane and revisit some of the best 2009 Superbowl commercials.
Here are some of our favorites from last year:
Do you have any favorites that we did not post? If so, post links on our comments and share them with our readers.

Hey Scour Fans,
We recently read about how Facebook and Yahoo are planning to work more closely in the future and wanted to keep you in the loop!
According to MediaPost, the two companies are entering a partnership that will allow Yahoo users to “share activity updates and content with each other” through the use of Facebook connect.
As for Yahoo users, they will be able to “see friends’ Facebook activities in “Yahoo Updates,” via new tabs that plan to be integrated into Yahoo’s web portal.
It is exciting to see how search and social networking is coming together and look forward to being able to offer these same type of features in the future.
We look forward to the integration of the partnership and can’t wait to try it out.

Hey Scour Community,
The past few days have been truly exciting. We are seeing tremendous amounts of traffic coming our way and as a result we are needing to upgrade some of our hardware!
We are looking forward to these improvements and it will allow us to grow exponentially over the next few months.
During this upgrade, we do expect a few random hiccups but overall we should be back up to speed within a few weeks.
Thanks for hanging in there,
Team Scour
Hey Scour Community,
These are busy times right? Who has the time to upload an avatar to your profile? If you don’t already have one, to help you out we’ve taken the liberty of assigning your Scour profile with one. We hope this will give the community some more color.
You can view the avatar that was assigned to your account by visiting your Scour Profile and if you decide you would like to change it, no problem, simply change it by clicking on the avatar image uploading the image of your choice.
Thanks!

Hey Scour Community,
Thank you for all of your feedback regarding our planned $25 daily cash giveaway, which was going to be the replacement for our Scour points program. We read all of your comments and suggestions and the overwhelming majority of users feel that we should focus our resources and efforts on core and new Scour features and usability. As a result we have decided not to move forward with the $25 daily program that was scheduled to begin September 1, 2009.
Scour is now able to focus its resources primarily on your experience, our own search speed and many more upgrades.
Over the past year, we have received many great suggestions from the community as to what we can improve on Scour, several which have already been implemented into our new homepage design. All feedback is taken into heavy consideration to help enrich the Scour community. With our focus narrowed, we’ve been able to make fast progress on some brand new features we’ll soon be rolling out over the next few months, including:
1. Facebook/Twitter Integration
2. Search in different languages
3. Add more Google results
4. New Scour homepage design
5. Implement local search /maps
6. Implement new layout/design to serps
7. Add chat within search results
8. Reply to Comments
9. And more!
Scour has always worked toward the goal of being a search engine for the users, and made better by its community. We continue to welcome your feedback and look forward implementing requests that make Scour.com a truly unique social search engine. As always, we want to hear what you think would make Scour.com better.
