The future of search: Leapfish
So I recently discovered a new little internet toy! I’m sure all of you noticed the new search bar at the top of my page. So at first glance it is easy to tell what makes this site different. The first thing is the fact that on the home page you have a connect with facebook and sign in with twitter. the second thing is the actual search results. One thing that really popped out to me on this site was the fact that you could change the results in each of the results sections without having to reload the page. One of my biggest qualms with searching IS the fact that it takes FOREVER. The results page on leapfish pulls up a number of different results you get everything from Google, Yahoo, and Bings results in one section that you can change between, all the way up to shopping results from amazon and ebay. The interface is really smooth and has some great built in features, something that I have always loved to hate is YouTube. You see with YouTube what has always kept me away is the lack of a good way to run through the results. Whenever I spend time on YouTube I find myself watching videos I dislike to find the couple that I like, Well Leapfish thought of a solution for that. On the search results page one of the coolest features is you can put your mouse over the image for the video and it immediately starts to play. I could go on and on all day so I’ll leave you with a couple of things. Create a login in page, you will notice the homepage is organized by widgets you can change. When you create a login you can change all of the content that shows up and where it shows up! So you get your news while checking your facebook and twitter and getting search results from 100’s of websites. Email me if you have questions! I know you will love it.
