Overview
Ujiko.com unveils
its latest version of its Yahoo-powered search engine with the innovative
thumbnail snapshot functionality from Thumbshots.org.
Thumbshots are screenshots of web pages in thumbnail sizes, which
perfectly complement UJIKO information visualization strategy. Users can now
instantaneously visualize and preview site results. Thumbshots add a new visual
dimension to their search strategy.
KartOO Technologies, the maker of Ujiko, is a leading information
visualization company that continuously seeks new features that would improve
the search results. The instant visual feedback provided by the thumbnail
snapshot proves extremely valuable for web users and has prompted KartOO to
include thumbshots into their directory pages.
Ujiko presents organic and sponsored results in a unique and
innovative cartographic interface. Ujiko sorts web sites by taking into account
the common topics instead of providing results according to a search relevancy.
Its unique algorithm orders the sites around a circle metaphor and grouping
them by themes.
"Thumbshot is an exciting and useful visual feature
that adds tremendous value to any search engine or directory," said
Laurent Balyedier, President of KartOO Technologies.
