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.
