Posts Tagged 'content aggregation'

A friend who knows how much I love celebrity gossip (and discovering new search platforms), recommended a new website the other day. Intrigued, I paid it a visit….

Kosmix is essentially a vertical search engine that aggregates content from a number of sources across the web; it then builds you a profile of your search query right before your eyes. There are several vertical search engines and apps aggregating content from multiple sources, Globrix and Headup being just a couple of examples, but this is definitely the best I’ve seen so far.

There are still a few things they need to iron out, country specific results would be nice, suggestions for search strings with spelling errors – essential, and improvements are needed for non-people based searches. However, if you’re trying to find out more about a particular individual the results are mighty impressive. A quick search on Jeffery Archer (no particular reason) for example presents me with his Wiki, a selection of blogs related to him, his official website, pictures, videos, book reviews, twitter feeds and even amazon purchase recommendations.

Perfect for all your celebrity stalking needs…. and some background research on authors!
