Clusty Clustering
Relates to SEO
Search engines have once again dominated the news the last few days with the release of M$N Beta. Despite the teething problems, speculative allegations, bombing, untimely Google announcements, and a falling out between this website and M$NBot, the engine does not seem too bad. The Beeb has posted a comparison of this and four other major players using three simple tests. In the verdict Ask Jeeves classification system appears to make it the popular choice. Personally I think this pales into insignificance compared to the powerful categorisation offered by the clustering meta-search engines, the latest addition to which is Clusty from the Vivisimo group. I would recommend checking out the Clusty featureset - a Firefox search plugin is also available.

The Clusty results are interesting - certainly it's a fun tool to play with, and Ask has certainly made a name for itself with a focus on clustering for relevancy purposes.
But…think Clusty's main problem is too much information, not well streamlined for general usage. Exotic, and a novelty, yes - widespread use? Not convinced.
