A new Viewzi on the net



The above ad saw the launch of the search engine Bing to combat the apparent Tourette's-like behaviour of search engines. Seems to me to do the job on resonating not only with how search results can seem, but also how I can feel more generally in a world with often too much information.

Bing seems to do a decent job of filtering, but at the end of the day it still feels like a bit of a list. But last night someone mentioned the search engine Viewzi to me. Why had I never heard of it before? The tag line's 'what are you looking for?', but could be 'what you are looking for.' It's just worth a play, but it's metasearch funtionality means it can do image clouds related to seearches, timelines...
