Interesting search experiments at Viewzi
One of several creative search result visualizers at Viewzi.
We first covered Viewzi, the creative service that offers unique front-ends to search engines, back in April. Monday night, the service is ending its private beta and opening up to everyone. Try it at Viewzi.com. It's a fun site if you like looking at search in new ways.
It looks like there are a few new search visualizers on the site now, including a graphically intensive 3D "photo cloud" viewer (PicLens is better) and a useful "shopping view" that lets you compare prices on Amazon, WalMart, Target, and eBay.
