Kartoo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KartOO is a meta search engine which displays a visual interface.
[edit] Interface
KartOO has an advanced GUI. Its color scheme is to a degree reminiscent of Apple Computer's Aqua interface. Search results are presented as a "map". There are blob-like masses of varying color that connect each item. On rollover of an individual result a bunch of red lines connect related links. If one begins their search with a general topic, KartOO may help to narrow it down. Every "blob" clicked adds another word to the search query.
[edit] History
It was co-founded in France by two cousins, Laurent and Nicholas Baleydier. This project was then launched in 2001. Most of their advertisement has been through word of mouth.
In 2004, KartOO launched a new version called UJIKO (they are actually the five keys on the keyboard like the concept of QWERTY). The interface looks more like a "jukebox" with the linked sites as playlists.
