A secret project? Yes! In a hidden corner of the web, Xerpi's top geek (and chief technology officer) was tinkering away on a digital hybrid combining Google and Yahoo with Amazon and Ebay.

And Facebook. And Craigslist. And MySpace. And Dictionary.com...

In fact, twenty of the web's best sites were magically stitched together in a new super-search engine that just appeared on the web Wednesday! And when the big day came, and one site had collected together the many, there was only one thing to call it.

"ButtonALL."

"There are so many Internet search engines," announced moonlighting Xerpi geek Wray Mills, and he also acknowledged that there's lots of new ways to display search results. But ButtonALL "will be a great place to catch up on what's out there for the average user." In a press release, the site is even described as a universal remote — for the internet.

"ButtonALL simplifies things by consolidating all the most popular search engines and 'Web 2.0' applications into ONE single search page, Mills said in the big announcement. "It saves you time by not having to open new windows and re-starting searches."

And Mills' work on the project drew new attention to his design for Xerpi. "Wray is the Ruby on Rails Rock Star," gushes a post on ButtonALL's blog, acknowledging how Wray's technology skills made Xerpi "one of the best social bookmarking sites on the Internet (more yummy than del.icio.us)."

So after searching the web with ButtonALL, you can search all the the personal favorites that were bookmarked by Xerpi's users — and you'll still be using the great computer coding of geek rock star Wray.

"If you ever wanted a 'favorites' web page with drag n drop functionality that you could access from any computer," ButtonALL's blogger writes, "then you should test-drive Xerpi..."
