grokker - this is quite cool...

pretty slick new take on the search engine. grokker. try it out a couple of times and you realize that the groupings feel almost natural. at least in my case, it felt as if the results were grouped the way i would have thought to group them - almost as if the process/outcome were, again, more naturally intuitive than your average yahoo!, google, lycos, dogpile, etc. search. maybe it's just the graphic representation. notably, if you use too broad a search string the results can be a bit intimidating, even overwhelming - but i s'pose that's really no different than would be the case with a traditional search engine/tool - 'cept in this case, again, it's graphic. in any event, with time, this could catch on.
