While social networks sprout like mushrooms around the web, it’s refreshing to find out that some netrepreneurs would develop startups that are not mainly social networks for a change.

iRazoo, the “world’s first people-powered, points driven, search engine”, launches today with it’s unique function of giving users the opportunity to register and earn points whenever one uses the engine. So think Google or Yahoo, only this time, you have to register to earn points. By performing a regular search query, you get search results that are real-time compilation of the top search results from the best search engines, and for each search, you receive 2 points. You can also receive points by referring a friend, which will earn you 10 points each referral.

Here are the benefits of iRazoo, as stated on their site:

• You get excellent search results (we aggregate all the data from the best search engines on the planet!)
• You get to help further refine our excellent search results for others as well as benefit from other’s refined search results
• You get points for each search you peform, each website you recommend/not recommend, and each referral you make
• Best of all, you get to exchange your points for fantastic prizes!
