Searchme


Checkout www.searchme.com. Nice interactive visual search. wher you can scroll through thumbnails (well let's call then "hands" as bigger than "thumbnails") of the sites like the pages of a book.

On subject of search we all saw in ireland much hype about the "Irish" challenger to google cuil.com. Not so cuil I am afraid as the search results are dismally poor when compared to Google. Try seraching fro soemthing obscurish or google-whackish and compare. I tried searching for "xeritel" par example.

Another thing: why is black the new white when it comes to search backgrounds?

Stephen Barrett's teanm here in Trinity College have devloped some very interesting next generation P2P search technology. Watch this space
