Looksmart acquired social link manager Furl.
Makes sense for a search engine that prides itself on hand-picked web sites organized into categories to enlist users to do some of the hand-picking. Should be an interesting case of when communities and ontologies collide. My guess is that Looksmart saw more than than a complement to help compete against features at the social fringes of things like A9, but recognizing the bottom-up disruption occurring in search.
