Visual Searching

Came across two things today that are related:

 

1 – A web service called ZoomCloudshttp://www.zoomclouds.com/Cybrary/viewCloud/0 that lets you create a cloud tag from an rss feed. The one I created is from our Library News – so we could easily add this to our web site.

 

2 – My colleague CJ de Jong told me about the new “visual” search in Ebscohost, based on grokker.

 

Interesting.

    Attended Taj Mahal at the Burton Cumming’s Theatre on April 20, 2006 in Winnipeg. Sat in my favourite place – first row of the first balcony.
