Map of Web Content By Perspective
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."
Hi, I'm one of the two guys who built Cruxlux. Yes, you could use it to isolate in your echo chamber, but really one of our hopes is that it can help break those walls down. If you don't specify a site, it will show you a cloud of all content, so you can see all angles on the story at a single view, not just one. Also, there's a debate platform there you might fine interesting.
