Youanimousis a AJAX-powered social search engine that provides users with additional details such as the Alexa Ranking, Google Page Rank and domain age for each website.

What’s interesting is the additional of social sharing buttons at the bottom of every individual link result. This allows you to instantly submit each link to websites like StumbleUpon, Digg and Reddit.

Not only are we a meta search engine, but we also have a passive voting system in place. Today, everyone is familiar with sites like Digg and Shoutwire. These sites let the users decide what is a good story, and what’s not. We are applying this same principle to search results without having to go through all that work of clicking buttons to vote for a site’s “coolness”.

Apparently Younanimous also allows you to decide what shows up in the search results: You can flag entire domains as spam and remove them from your results listings.

What you will see on the Youanimous’s results page is a collusion of rankings from Google, Yahoo and MSN after they are weighed against Youanimous’s own database of user votes and activity.
