Three quick links for Easter

Three items that may be if interest:

• search-cube is a new visual search engine that allows previews of up to ninety-six websites, videos and images. Combining results from Google with images from Thumbshots, it creates a rotating 3D cube that the user can manipulated to browse the results. While it lacks any ranking capability, it is still an interesting variation on the search engine. Would it be a good way to present search results from an OPAC?

• If your interest was piqued by my previous entry on the Microsoft Surface, you can now have one for your own home, for a mere $350 dollars and some sweat and tears (tip o’ the hat to Captain Fold).

• Trying to collaborate on a project and need to share your computer screen? Have a look at Pocket Meeting, which can do just that for a one time fee of $5. A quick user review is available from ReadWriteWeb.
