Map of Web Content By Perspective

Posted by timothy on from the imperfect-but-neat dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Cruxlux has a perspective-based search engine up. It provides a map of results laid out by viewpoint. For example, querying 'Obama' shows a map with liberal blog posts, articles, and video clumped together, conservative stuff nearby, and nonpolitical sources farther away. It works for nonpolitical queries too (sports, etc.). It also lets you limit results to certain types of views — you can focus on hot 'Obama' content from a liberal angle, for instance."

    It's interesting to see that when you type in "RIAA" almost all content range from blogs that report on the RIAA's losses, to the one that report on how much they hate the RIAA.

    They really have no friends anymore.

    I like the concept, it certainly has its uses. And it's long before time that search had new innovations, for something so intrinsically useful and lucrative, there's been almost no progress in search in a decade.

    However, these folks need to hire a graphic designer. That is one ugly, cluttered website. Far, far too much information to look at at one time, daunting to say the least. Google had the right idea with their interface. Less is more.
