While my pal Ed Lee is spending his Halloween ruminating over 24 and PR comings and goings up in Toronto, I thought I’d blog about something truly useful: namely, an entertaining alternative for conducting your web searches!

Ms. Dewey certainly, ahem, gives search a whole new look. Type in a word or phrase, and Ms. Dewey will offer up a cute phrase or two. Then, you’ll see search listings. And, get this: just for kicks, Ms. Dewey’s sometimes-pre-programmed, sometimes-random recordings are even relevant to your search term!

OK, to be frank, once you get past the sultriness of Ms. Dewey, (played by Janina Gavankar — and admittedly, that takes at least five minutes — this search assistant becomes somewhat annoying.

But I guess that at least on this day, eye candy can be a pleasant distraction for a short while.

Happy Halloween.
