Viewzi.com is a great new experience in searching the web, that is very engaging, visually attractive and cuts browsing time.
You simply type in your search query, and then you get to select a specific view to see your results, for instance the Web Screenshot View will look like this:
You can browse easily from one search result to the next and view a screen shot of the resulting page, right from where you are, instead of the back and forth you do with the regular search interface.
Even their Simple Text view includes thumbnails of each search result, the more you scroll down the more results they fetch!
Another amazing view is 4 Sources view, where they bring search results from Yahoo, Google, Ask and MSN in one screen! You can filter between the 4 sources and select which ones to show…
I personally enjoyed checking Site Information View that gets you traffic information, recent tweets, search results…etc. associated with the site you are inquiring about
It seems that each view was made by a different person, but I couldn’t find information related to any API or tools that enables outside developers to create a view, maybe they just want to share the product team identities who worked on each view.
Try it its fun!
