- Kartoo
KartOO is a
next-generation metasearch engine which displays avisual interface.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.KartOO has the quality to redefine searches with a click of the mouse. A topic list is displayed on the side as suggested words.
Recently, KartOO created 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, where you can add or delete your preference.Interface
KartOO has an incredibly advanced
GUI . It has a unique color scheme that is a small bit reminiscent ofApple Computer 's Aqua interface. Once you enter a new search in the Flash version you come up with a "map" of results. There are blob-like masses of varying color that connect each item. on rollover of an individual result a bunch of red lines connect relatedlinks . Basically, if one begins their search with a general topic, KartOO helps to narrow it down. Every "blob" you click adds another word to your search query.External links
