Tafiti - Silverlight powered Search!
Filed Under (Silverlight) by harjeetkumar on 21-08-2007
I knew there would be really cool silverlight enabled sites coming up, this one is simply brilliant. Tafiti was launched by Microsoft today. It’s a search engine to be used as a research tool where you can search websites, blogs, feeds, news, images, books and more for the information you want. Collect it all, put it together in the form of a collage and share it with others via email or blog. It’s pretty impressive. I tried searching “Harjeet Kumar” on it and the results were very accurately linked to me
. That’s not all I searched for though. I also tried putting myself in the position of doing a university coursework, something that I used to do not too long ago. I searched for “Infosys”, put together websites, images, news articles and could even filter down to annual results, HR policies etc. Stacked it all up and it was easy to review. I think its a great start and search and UI have a long way to go. I also think Microsoft’s on to something new! It looks alive and looks “cool”. Check it out at www.tafiti.com
