Addictomatic: Inhale the Web

I'm not typically a fan of meta-search engines but Addictomatic (sent in my my coworker Cathy) looks interesting. In a very 2.0-ish way it presents to you results from sites such as flickr, live.com, Google blog search, Digg, technorati, YouTube, and many others. Each box containing search results can be repositioned on the screen via drag-and-drop. Here's a few screenshots to give you an idea before you try it out.

Thing #12: Rollyo

I've played with Rollyo in the past and didn't find it of much use as I don't do many subject specific searches. However, on further investigation, I could see a library setting up some specific topic-based searches for use on the reference desk. For example, Lincoln City Libraries setting up a search that runs against all sorts of Lincoln-related resources.

I did end up creating a pseudo ego search for myself. Use this one to search against all my different sites and profiles that I've got online. For example, if you want to see what I've posted online involving the commission search the box below for NLC, choose "The Travelin' Librarian" as your search engine, click Search and see what you get.

flickrCC

I've posted about hoe how to search flickr for CC licensed photos before but here's another site that does it with a much slicker (slickr?) interface: flickrCC.
