Grokker: A long overdue breakthrough in usability
Highlight — Grokker is a long overdue breakthrough in the realm of search engine usability.
Do spread the word on your blog and invite your readers to do so as well… This tool is times more powerful that anything Google's pathetically outperformed search engine and interface will let you do. It deserves the blogosphere's full attention.

Comments on Grokker: A long overdue breakthrough in usability
An interesting way to display search results. Speed is certainly an issue though.
With a very fast broadband connection, I think the only real issue will be the navigation: A double click to follow a link would be welcome. :)
No, my connection is plenty fast. It's the initial search that's slow.
The initial query was a bit slow on my DSL connection too. But I trust there's plenty of things that they could do to speed things up. I wouldn't be amazed to learn that the bulk of the load time is in fact due to java initialization. It would be wonderful if they could make a Firefox plugin out of this.
