Worship with Swicki (its not a band)

At Doxas my job is to help develop on-line tools for Worshipers and Worship Leaders from all walks of life and from every culture. We work hard to understand Worship Leaders and Worship Musicians needs and then create some sort of solution for them on-line. Sometimes we build applications from scratch, and other times we adapt existing technology for the worship community. Recently we stumbled across a really unique application,called a Swicki, that allows any community to 'train' its customizable search engine to find the most relevant resources for that community. We realized that this would be great for searching through the diverse and ecclectic Worship resources scattered across the Internet (think Google for Worship Music)

(if technical mumbo jumbo bores you then you can just click here).

"Sometimes, looking for specific information has that needle in a haystack feeling. Not only can you get millions of results from a simple query, the most relevant data for you can be buried way down the list. Swickis let you slice and dice and customize your search engine query for other users so that you can specify the most relevant sources. The swicki further refines the results once like-minded users start engaging with it. Every click refines the swicki's search strings, creating a responsive, dynamic result that's both customized and highly relevant." eurekster.com
