An Alternative Search Tool for Your Tablet - The Digital Shift

An Alternative Search Tool for Your Tablet - The Digital Shift | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"A new app for the iPad and Android devices uses a highly visual format to provide a different search experience for the tablet user. More than just a pretty interface, Izik—which debuted last month as the top reference app in iTunes—is based on Blekko, the search engine that boasts higher quality results based on human curation."

Beth Dichter's insight:

This search engine is designed for a tablet and provides some unique features. The visual format is based on categories so you can swipe horizontally to view additional entries, and or vertically to see more categories. Their website states "our goal is to have the practicality of the Web unfold at your fingertips in a fun and playful manner."

To download the app (iPad or Android) or to check it out online check out their website at http://izik.com/.
