I’m proud to announce that at approximately 9pm C.S.T., our delivery servers recorded the 1 Millionth badge served in a little over 2 months since our launch on June 5th.

Our “on-track” plan had us serving 1 million badges by the 2 month mark, so we’re slightly behind that goal, but we’re still happy with the results.

As a response to the ReadWriteWeb’s article entitled “11 Search Trends That May Disrupt Google“, one additional trend that could also distrupt the major search engines is something we’re calling “Distributed Local Search”.

With the adoption of the OpenSearch Format into major browsers like FireFox and Internet Explorer, it provides users with a way to circumvent the major search engines all together and search directly from the source.  This feature is still in it’s infancy, so it probably isn’t on the radar screens at this time. But, as more browsers begin to include the OpenSearch format in their feature list and more site owners realize the potential it brings, the trend will begin to get more recognition from the major players.

Granted we do have a vested interest in this trend and hope that Addoursearch.com can be the catalyst to bring this function into more of a main stream search and marketing channel, but we do believe that this has a great potential to cause at least a ripple in the search arena.
