What’s that

At one side,we witness bulk of extravagent technologies coming our way.On the other side,some utilities seem conceptually too simple but prove equally infectious(Ex. Twittter).

Quick.as joins the minority of the two.It is a website that simply desires to be one’s homepage.It doesn’t overwhelm you by showing lot of tech stuff but gives you a few and adequate reasons to turn it into your homepage.

Raef Akehurst,the creator of Quick.as presents two prime reasons to make Quick.as your homepage :

Quick.as helps you exercise command line search

It comes with a number of customizable Quicklinks on the homepage,making it faster to reach your favorite sites

What it offers…

• Command based Search : If one wants to search DNA on wikipedia, he just needs to type “w DNA”.Similarly, “f crystal” means ‘image search on flickr’ and many others.This saves time when you become habitual of it
• Quick links : This is a feature which is simple yet full of utility.Everybody has a bunch of websites which are visited on a daily basis.It lets you create a link for them on the homepage itself.Now,as quick links are editable,one can edit the default links and add his desired links to the homepage

Why it can be THE NEXT BIG THING !

Simplicity - Twitter has one basic utility,which is describing “What are you doing ?”. And it’s a hit.Some utilites are really simple but equally effective.Quick.as comes with such an uncluttered and quick loading site frame that may turn a majority of people into its userbase.

Customizability – Quick.as lets you customize the default quick links and therefore gives you a freedom to add a personal touch to your homepage.Command based search adds to the service as well

Why it may prove to be a Web Struggler !

Too simple – If a set of users would perceive it as a useful yet simple thing to opt for, many others wouldn’t find it of any utility as command based search suits only to the habituals users and adding a link to the bookmark list rather than Quick links solves the purpose

iGoogle Factor – As iGoogle lets one customize his homepage to much higher extent and is well established,Quick.as stands with narrow chances of making it real BIG.
