Addict-o-matic.com
From: addictomatic.com
The simplest way to describe Addict-o-matic.com is that it's an aggregator of aggregators. Type in a search query into its simple, Google-esque front-end, and an explosion of unwanted information bursts from its innards. A simple search of "Nexus One" revealed numerous results from Twitter, Bing and Google searches, Youtube, and Digg... just to name a few. The results are aggregated in boxes according to their source, and you can navigate to any result or external source simply and easily. Addict-o-matic claims to be an easy way to create a custom "buzz" page for any search query, but I think it serves more as a reminder of just how big the internet really is.
Experience-wise, the interface is simple and snappy, considering how many simultaneous searches are conducted at once. You can select/deselect your sources to reduce the inevitable "search overload" that Bing so aggressively warns against. Options to share your search, about the cloud, with the cloud via facebook and twitter (among others) make it a fun experience.
Stay innovative.
