Lijit search widget.

2007-05-02T09:46:00.000-07:00

Lijit is sort of a "social search engine" where the visitors to your blog can search through your interests, they can search through your bookmarks on sites like digg and del.ico.us, your photos on flickr, videos on youtube, your myspace profile, the blogs in your blogroll, and so on.

You can also simply add only your blog, and use it as a blog search engine.

Along with the widget you can have a tag-cloud of the most popular searches, and also a list of the links you have added to the "My Content" section of your profile.

A cool little widget i think, you can use it as a way of letting people search through all of the stuff you are interested in, or you can make your own customized search engine by adding links to all the sites you think are relevant to a certain topic.

Imagini "visual dna" widget

2007-04-23T14:26:00.000-07:00

Read my VisualDNA™ Get your own VisualDNA™

At imagini you can make your own profile based on selecting images instead of for example using tags.That's also where you can get this widget to display your choices on your blog or website.

You get a list of statements like:

"This is how I like to listen to music..."
"Freedom is..."
"For me love is..."

And then you choose one among 15 images which describes you best.

When you've done that you get a little "book" describing different aspects of your personality, and you can also write something about yourself.

On the right you see a list of people ranked by how much they match your choices.

There is also a list of how your choices compares to others in percentages.

The list is longer on the website.

For me personally i was not surprised that 7 out of my 13 choices was not popular, there's apparently many weirdos out there who doesn't associate "love" with cars, "freedom" with money and "exciting free time" with their computer.
