Clusty Releases Mobile Version of their Site

Hooray! As of today, a mobile version of the metasearch/dynamic clustering engine, Clusty is now online, We've been fans and users of Clusty since it launched a few years ago. We also love some of the many tools Clusty's underlying technology, Vivisimo, provides other search sites including:
+ Clustermed.info
+ USAsearch.gov
+ Bio-Meta Cluster

Here's a quick review of what a Clusty Mobile results page consists of. The search is for "New York City."

+ Dynamic Clusters (with total hits next to them) at the top of the page.
+ Current Weather
+ Wikipedia entry, with link to see more Wikipedia results
+ Urban Legends (via Snopes) with link to view more Snopes results
+ Image Results (surprisingly, no link to see more results)
+ Web Results (sources not listed, link to view more results)
+ Query Refinements

An actual results page on the mobile site reminds us a bit of the oneSearch results from Yahoo.

Also, the query refinements are similar to what are available at the bottom of an Ask Mobile results page. Here the refinements are labeled "Expand" and Narrow.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
