This week I found an interesting tool called Searchme. It is a search engine, but I would think it is more like a visual bookmark tool.
Searchme shows the search results as a stack of pages and it also allow users to preview and flip through the pages. Unlike traditional search engine shows you a list of text-based results, Searchme shows screenshots of web pages.
Searchme is not as simple as a search engine, it also offers a bookmark feature. The stacks features on the top right corner of the page can let users to organize collections of bookmarked pages. Users can create several stacks, and it can contain not only bookmarked pages but also images and videos. Users can also manually add URL to or delete any page from the stack. Also, the collections of bookmarked pages can be shared via email, blogs, or social networking sites.
This new verson of search engine helps users save time filtering through search results by view the screenshots of websites. I can imagine that enterprises will consider to design more appealing and good looking websites in order to draw visitors.
So how to use Searchme's stacks feature? You can check out this tutorial on Youtube.
Thanks for sharing this new tool. I did not know about Searchme.
