I found something cool on the internet

[ThrobbingEgo]

It's a search engine called Spezify. It was featured on one of the blogs I frequent, can't remember which. Anyway, it reminds me of Veidt's wall of TV screens, that he uses to find themes in broadcasting, but for the internet. It's like Google, but visual, and it includes twitter posts.

Here's the site: http://www.spezify.com/

Typical usage tests:
Here's me looking up Neil Gaiman's appearance on Jonathan Coulton's tour. [http://www.spezify.com/#/neil gaiman jonathan coulton]
Here's me looking up President Obama. [http://www.spezify.com/#/barack obama]
Here's me looking up pygmy goats. [http://www.spezify.com/#/pygmy goats]

I'm not sure if such a search engine could replace Google, but this is certainly a neat alternative to that style of search engine.

Anyway, that's enough of me gushing over my latest find. What cool webapps/search engines/sites have you discovered?

That is incredibly annoying.

Well there was this place called Wimp that I use to go to play flash games and such.
Doesn't come up when I search it now tho.

What's the site that puts bacon everywhere?

It's too bad that there doesn't appear to be a way to say the maximum number of "open windows" there are. Would be nice if you could say "Make an area of x height and y width and fill it then begin overlapping".

sweet mother of all that's unholy, its the actual drain where all things horrific on the internet collect and can be shown to you All at once

I fear the potential of such a tool

It doesn't let you go to the page the information is on, though!

Quiet a few, my most recently discovered was this, and it is awesome.

Yes it does. There's a button in the corner of the object if you click on it. It opens it in a new tab.

It would be like a fucking nuke on 4Chan. Luckily safe search appears to be enabled by default, and most of the pictures come from Flickr.

Still, I wouldn't search for Goatse.

Is that like the unicorn button? [http://www.cornify.com]

Oh god.

In other news, it looks pretty cool, but I'm sticking with Google.
