Geekblok

Today I received an invitation for Searchme. While currently in REAL beta (as they call it themselves), it looks very promising. The search index is around one billion pages (and growing each day) so not everything can be found (but hey, Geekblok is in there!).

Nonetheless this looks very cool and extremely useful. Will this be the new way to search for information? Search 3.0, or not, I’ve made a little screencast of how it works. In the example, I search for “scummvm”.

Joffie recently showed me the ESP Game (he’ll probably post about that game someday ). The ESP Game however showed me a link to Phetch.

The game is simple and addictive (yes, now I have warned you!). You describe a picture you see and the others (who you don’t know) will try to find it. The better you describe it, the faster people can find it. Then it’s the seeker’s turn and you’ll have to hunt down the image. Speed is of essence here. Highly addictive and fun!
