New Search Engine ~ Kosmix
Kosmix is the latest search engine on the block, attempting to challenge Google. But it has a much more interesting interface than Google, looking more like a personal homepage than a search engine.
On the home page you can see the most popular stories from sites such as Yahoo, Digg and CNN, the most popular videos from places like YouTube and Himeo and daily pictures from Flickr and Kodak. You can also see the hottest searches in Kosmos, plus trending topics and top links from Twitter.
Try doing a search, and it brings up results from Wikipedia, Google and dozens of other sources from across the Web.
This is definitely one site to keep an eye on. Check out what’s going on behind the scenes with the fascinating Kosmix Blog. Here you can read about how the site developed, what they are thinking about now, and their innovative plans for the future.

Hey there! Thanks for doing a quick piece on Kosmix - I’m part of the Kosmix team and wanted to reach out and say thanks. We’re continuing to work on the product so I’d love to hear feedback on things we’re doing right/wrong.
BTW, several of us are on Twitter and you can say hello! I’m @saumil, also reach out to @vijaycs42 (Kosmix.com PM), @anand_raj (Kosmix founder) and @remotezygote (lead web dev).
