New Thing 7

eyePlorer.com is a graphical knowledge engine which displays related facts about a searched topic. It is an interesting way to search topics much like a wiki but a much more interactive way to view information.

How it works

Step 1: Type in a word in the search bar or just drag in a term already in the circle. For example purposes I draged in iPhone.



Step 2: The result gives a description of the iPhone on the left and even more items to discover in the search circle. Items in the circle can be searched on their own or can be discovered how they relate to the other terms in the circle by double-clicking.

Step 3: You can narrow your search by dragging concepts into the blank search bars.

eyePlorer puts a nice visual touch into searching through wiki's and could be a great alternative to students who learn more from a visual standpoint rather than text based websites.
