Social Tagging - Thing 10

Ok, wow - I haven't heard of or used many of these sites. I found KartOO particularly interesting. The idea of mapping helps further stimulate ones search strategy when researching. The short blurbs that appear on the left hand side of the screen when the mouse is moved over the site is also very useful. I wasn't, however, really impressed with the search results. Some were really left field, however this can be quite useful I guess.

The search term I used on each of the sites was "Friends". I have just spend Australia Day hanging out with my friends by our pool and it was the first thing to pop into my head.

Meta search engines, such as Zuula, are a great place to start any Internet research. I have always used Dogpile or MetaCrawler. I do like the Zuula interface and the various search engine tabs across the top of the page. It is interesting to see the different results given within a meta search engine.
