I recently discovered some neat (and not so neat) visual search interfaces
The most impressive (visually speaking) of the lot is Searchme.com — it does the iTunes coverflow thing pretty nicely and neatly in Flash. I love the tiltviewer interface but seeing my search results in that style at Bryns Brain felt a little out-of-place. RedZee has a cute mascot and the fluid circular drag motion for the search results is all done without flash, but it looks kinda sucky.
But at the end of the day, having said all that, the actual search results were truly lousy for all three visual search engines I just mentioned. I’m sticking to Google for now, thanks very much.
