Re: kartoo: les cartes de recherche



A bit slow in loading and searching; probably because of its
"results-display", which may more than compensate.

There's a fascinating new search engine called KartOO
(http://kartoo.com) which came my way thanks to Mark Warschauer at UC
Irvine. I don't know that it'll beat Google for day-in day-out
functionality and great results, but the KartOO results-display
interface is to die for!

Its major feature is its ability to identify and elegantly display
complex relationships between topics and websites. Try it; it's so way
kewl!

I haven't had much time to play with it yet; but I already love the way
it suggests to me which search paths are likely to be wrong directions
and dead ends, and which might hold more promise. I'm thinking of it as
an adjunct to my beloved Google when Google is having trouble seeing
things the way I want to see them.

Best wishes,

Larry
