Coverflow … “invented” by Apple in order to create an attractive way of flipping through your albums on your touch-screen iPod … adapted by various software applications (including one I use quite a bit - VirtualDJ) - and now, also being used by searchme to make their “visual” search engine.
I don’t honestly know how long searchme is around, but I’ve just come across it. It’s a clever idea, and it works better and seems to give better (and more interesting) search results than Cúil (the new search engine kid on the block that claims to have a database many times bigger than Google’s). It even allows you to search videos, with the ability to actually play the videos inline within the 3D search results interface, which is quite a nice feature.

One Response to “searchme: Search with built-in coverflow”
I noticed them back in May when their crawler was hitting my blog a bit, the UI is great. They have a blog and are very responsive to comments and feedback. I love the use of the scroll button on the mouse to flick left and right.
