Useless, but neat!

I don't know whether there's any particular use for new, non-intuitive ways of presenting internet search results, but this one is just so pretty. KartOO is a Flash system which presents its findings as a map. For example, I ran my standard egotism-googlism, "d'Herblay buffy," and came up with ( this honkin' big graphic. )

meta-internet, atpo, technophilia

I want a map! masqthephlsphr October 11 2003, 13:34:44 UTC
But my primitive browser can't deal with that site's output. Could someone try doing a search on the www for "www.atpobtvs.com" and send me a copy of the results?

Or can you think of a better search term(s) for me?

It's very, very cool, d'Herb! It's like a map of our family--Rob's site, Fresne's, the board, my site.

Here you go. I had to play with the sizing to get everything to fit, and I didn't edit the picture at all, so you have more than just the map.

Sure. No problem.

Oh, and a little elucidation dherblay October 11 2003, 14:25:12 UTC
The maximum number of sites the map can display seems to be thirty. More than thirty sites mention you, which is why there some glaring omissions (fresne's site, e.g.). However, we do pick up dubdub and Etrangere's sites. You're just far too popular to please everyone!

My immense popularity aside, you're a peach!
