Looking for some new movies to watch? Check out Criticker, a movie-suggestion engine that crunches the numbers on your personal movie rankings and matches them to the lists of others.

You start off by ranking ten movies on a 0-100 point scale. After you have at least ten movies ranked, Criticker generates a list of users who have similar taste in movies and see what movies they have liked that you may have overlooked.

Criticker has a social element with a messaging system and a forum for movie discussion. Criticker is a free service and requires no login to test the service out. A free account preserves your rankings between visits.

We all know the mind-numbing aggravation of being stuck at the airport, waiting on a delayed flight. But here’s a tidbit that might make your next hourlong wait on the tarmac–or, if you’re really unlucky, night spent sleeping in an airport lobby–that much more frustrating: The airlines usually know about your flight delays long before they alert the public. Their incentive for keeping fliers waiting is to avoid the hassle of rebooking them on other flights. Luckily, a new service launched this week called FlightCaster gives you the scoop on delayed flights as long as six hours before the airlines will.

FlightCaster predicts flight delays using an algorithm that scours data on every domestic flight for the past 10 years and matches it to present conditions. When you look up your flight, FlightCaster estimates the chances of delays along with reasons for the delay. Using this information you can then get a jumpstart on rebooking your flight while everyone else is still waiting for a plane that will arrive late.

If you’re not sure whether you would be better off using Google, Bing!, or Yahoo! for your Web search needs, there are a number of ways you could decide. You could certainly try to trade off different engines as you do searches to determine which one gives you the results you’re looking for, or you could visit all three and do a search every time you need to find something. You could also read reviews of the various engines and let them sway you.

Alternatively, you could pit the top three search engines against each other with BlindSearch. BlindSearch is a free Web app that gives you a text bar and will search all three engines and display the top results from each in a window. You choose which set of results you think are the best, and then the site reveals which engine they’re from.

BlindSearch is far from scientific, but it’s definitely useful if you’re curious what kinds of results different engines turn up when you search them. For example, I know so many people who don’t use anything but Google that they imagine that search results from other engines must just turn up garbage. BlindSearch can prove the point that other search engines, other than the one you use, just may be useful.

You can use BlindSearch to look for Web results or images, and the results from each engine are displayed in three columns. It’s specifically useful for image searches, where the difference in quality among each engine is wider than with regular search results.

The site shows you the first ten results from each of the three engines. At the top of each column is a button you can click to vote for your favorite set of search results. After you vote the names of the engines that provided each of the results is shown, and you can see which engine you voted for.

Admittedly, BlindSearch doesn’t give you a feel for what it’s like to actually use any of the search engines that it tests, and since you only see the first set of results, it’s not really an indicator of how helpful one of those engines may be if you’re doing some really deep digging for something.

Even so, if you’re like me and go on frequent image searches and often want to see how blogs and other sites appear when other people search for them, it’s fun to see how your search term appears to users of each of the three major engines, and then see which one’s results are the ones you like the most.

The developer has published the results from the first several weeks BlindSearch has been up, and while Google is still the winner, Bing’s search results are apparently popular as well. Give BlindSearch a try; you may be surprised which engine you think has the best results when you have to pick one blindly.
