Need a factoid?

Lexxe is a new type of search engine — a web 2.0 engine. Just enter your question and wait for the clustered results. Although in alpha, this is a great new tool for students and laymen alike.

Lexxe is designed to extract short answers quickly, instead of finding the page on which the answer might be located. It emphasizes the processing of language rather than symbols – using the level of words and the meanings associated with them. I am a crossword puzzle buff and Lexxe is my last resort to solve those testy New York Times Sunday editions.

There are other new social searches — I have Swiki on on one of my Blog pages. Haven’t tried, but have heard much ado about: Rollyo and Clusty

Linguistic searches, collaboratives searches — pretty soon, the web will be asking me the questions before I know I want the answers.
