SEOmoz blog covered Groowe toolbar
SEOmoz, blog for search marketer professionals have covered Groowe in the post 14 Popular Browser Toolbars Reviewed - The Worthwhile and the Worthless.
From the article:
Features:
* Search multiple engines and vertical sources
* Get the Toolbar Functionality from Google, Yahoo!, Live, & Ask by rotating through
* Set preferences & add custom buttons & sourcesValue to Ordinary Users: Medium to High
If you’re a power searcher or simply want to have multiple toolbars without the massive visual space consumption, Groowe is a solid choice. There’s a lot to like here, but you need to be someone who’ll actually use the features, which many ordinary users might not. Still, of the search-focused toolbars, Groowe is certainly a standout.
Value to Web Professionals: Low to High
Depending on what you’re doing as a marketer or developer, Groowe could be a boon or simply a replica of some features you’ve already got. The toolbar has a lot to offer, but again, it’s going to be personal choice & habits that make it valuable. My feeling is that marketers, particularly search marketers, will find more value than developers, who probably don’t need the extra search abilities on demand.

A _real powersearcher_ needs a search by categories,not these *search the first 3\5\7*ones.
This would make the toolbar nearly perfect - so it’s only better than all other.

I just installed Firefox 3 RC1 and sort of forgot that Groowe doesn’t automatically come with it… so I’m just wondering when will Groowe release something so I can have it again. Thanks!

Thanks! I just installed the “unofficial” v1.62.
I had no idea how addicted I was until I installed RC1. Then, I was having serious withdrawal symptoms until I found the revision.
Thanks again for this amazing tool,
John
