Visual Search Engines

Lookie here: Spezify, a cool visual search engine. I like how the results are immediately popping up and displayed in a sort of JQuery-like mix-match boxes. There doesn’t seem to be a clear reason for the layout and I’m a little disappointed by is the thinness of the results. Doesn’t seem to yield as much as I’d like it to.

Yes, I did write “Engines” on the title because I’m still really liking Viewzi‘s Google Timeline (or Cronotron). Very cool for research into stories (like “Iraq wars”) or your own web footprints (like seeing what has been said about you over the year). Yes, unfortunately, it only does one year from today. The Photo Tag Cloud is also cool but a little useless for my search purpose most of the time.

You should definitely check them both out. I will be testing Viewzi Site Search as well. Hope it’s fun.
