I'm often ridiculed for this idea when I voice it, but on day soon I'd like to make a search engine that is only whitelisted domains, with opinionated / hand curated weightings.

Not crazy. Do it and share it.

Just be prepared: the future of the internet is navigating politics. You better be prepared for people to be upset at query X returns results too right/left/up/down for their political preferences. Then senators start tweeting at you.

Actually I just remembered we don't have copyright fair use here in Australia so I can't legally scrape websites. Oh well.

Also, my search engine will be called "Jays Favorite Websites" and the right side of politics can bite me.
