Kartoo and other next-generation search engines with visual interfaces - Why do most people stick with traditional result lists?

Asked by mattbrowne (31732points) April 3rd, 2009

If you enter the word exercise into http://www.kartoo.com you will get an image map that lets you refine your search. When you enter the term into Google you get a list of 158,000,000 results.

Here’s some additional information about Kaboo:

Kartoo is a next-generation meta search engine which displays a visual interface. It was co-founded in France by two cousins, Laurent and Nicholas Baleydier. This project was then launched in 2001. Most of their advertisement has been through word of mouth. Kartoo has the quality to redefine searches with a click of the mouse. A topic list is displayed on the side as suggested words. Recently, Kartoo created a new version called UJIKO (they are actually the five keys on the keyboard like the concept of QWERTY). The interface looks more like a “jukebox” with the linked sites as playlists, where you can add or delete your preference.
