Quintura, a search engine for the visual/spatial thinker in you

May 8th, 2006

Frank Gruber points to Quintura, a new search engine based on visual semantic maps.

It’s a new and interesting twist on the old “words related to your search” story. Instead of offering a plain list of suggested words, it shows a spatial map of words, distance indicating degree of relatedness.

My only objection could have been it focus on desktop application, but Frank points out they have just launched a Russian-language web-based search which seems remarkably similar to the desktop application:

English version of the web-based search and the 2.0 version of the desktop application are on the way.
