I would definitely use a bitcoin search engine. In particular, it would be nice to be able to restrict a search for online vendors that accept bitcoin.
Thats a great idea.
I need somebody to make some text lists. if someone will do this i could have the site up in a matter of days:
1. list of vendors
2. list of faucets, gambling sites, and others
3. list of altcoin websites
I like these ideas as well! A little directory would be cool too. Instead of having to go to different sites to get lists and then compare them to each other, have a single database listing everything.
