picture-103 Although it’s not new, I just discovered a site called Kosmix. It’s a web search that aggregates all kind of relevant information on your search topic and presents it to you on a one page “dashboard”…. wiki info, videos, images, products, tweets, news, opinion, forum comments, etc. I really like it. Very impressive technology, and REALLY useful.

[the following from wikipedia entry] For a key word or topic that a user enters, “Kosmix gathers content from across the Web to build a sort of multimedia encyclopedia entry on the fly. By scouring the Web, the company has built a huge taxonomy, a set of nearly five million categories on topics from people and locations to car models, music groups and types of cheese. The taxonomy includes millions of connections mapping the relationship among those categories.
