May Link of the Month

Link of the Month: Clusty (http://clusty.com/)

Clusty is a meta-search engine, which searches Looksmart, Lycos, MSN, Open Directory, Teoma (now merged with Ask.com), Gigablast, and Wisenut. Clusty then 'clusters' these results into related groups. For example, if you typed in a topic like "New Orleans", It displays the Top 224 results of the 17,893,225 sites from the different search engines. On the left hand side you can see how Clusty has divided all the sites in to groups like "Louisiana" "Hurricane" "Hotels" "Music" "Pictures", and beside each cluster is the number of sites in the group. There are also tabs at the top that allow you to search by Images, News, Blogs, Wikipedia, or even Jobs. These different tabs search other sources, for example News will search such sources as Yahoo News!, AP, CNN, and Reuters. True, Clusty may never replace Google, but it has found things (for me at least) that Google missed, and maybe worth a look.

Happy Searching!
