   Ah, finally some criticism! 🙂

   And mostly justified too (on a side note, what is the best translation of “dünne”? – I know the main gist is that of insubstantiality, but does it have an implicit connotation of mild sleaziness as well?).

   I will be the first to admit that in its present state opsdo is anything but substantial (indeed, working on it alone and very much part-time it still only took me about a month to get it to its current condition), and I assure you much more is being worked on – I just wanted to get it out as early as possible to help establish its presence and get feedback.

   But even with that said, I still think that opsdo can already be useful. Using it for general searches is clearly pointless (unless the search term is *really* obscure, in which case the major search engines do diverge more than expected), but using it in particular combinations (e.g. IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes for movies, or Google Finance and The Street for breaking financial developments), puts rather conveniently on the same page information that is (sometimes) helpful to display together (and saves you having to type the same query twice, not to mention the two different addresses :-D)… And that is not to mention the ability (which I myself, and from the webstats a couple of other users, absolutely love, but which most people utterly ignore) to do the same from the Firefox search bar.

   So there! 🙂

   PS:
   Apologies for responding in English, but I read German far better than I write it…
