New: Visualize Yahoo Results with Grokker

One information visualization tool that’s received plenty of attention over the past few years is Groxis from Grokker.

Today, the NY Times reports that you can now use Groxis to visualize Yahoo Search results for free and WITHOUT having to download the Groxis client. If anyone is interested in checking out this new and easily accessible service, it’s me. It’s been a year or so since I used Groxis and at that point it was interesting but didn’t seem to add much value to my searching. I think it’s time to give it another look.

Until now the company has sold a $49 program for use with Windows-based and Macintosh computers. Beginning this week, the company will rely instead on revenue from advertisements placed by the Yahoo ad placement service.

The Groxis relationship with Yahoo is not exclusive, but Mr. Pittman [Groxis CEO] said Yahoo had been quicker than its competitor, Google, in creating a standard way to place relevant ads next to Grokker’s circular search result maps.

The full Grokker client software remains available for $49. Site-licensed versions for the enterprise and education communities remain available.
