Kosmix

Searching the Internet can be a bit of a bind. Trust me, I do it for a living, and it never gets any easier wading through page after page of text and links.

Well, finding something of interest became easier after I came across the little gem www.kosmix.com

The idea behind this search facility is that it takes your query and returns information in the form of a bespoke webpage, including text summaries, pictures and links.

This website was originally created as a vertical search engine for information about health, automobiles and travel.
But it has now been transformed into a universal search engine for all subjects in the Internet cosmos.

Data is sourced from a wide range of places, such as Flickr, Google, Wikipedia, TheFind, Yahoo Answers, Amazon, Truveo, and YouTube.

This gives you an incredibly diverse selection of reading and watching material, and it is all laid out in a really palatable format.
