Viewzi Search Is Live!

Let the Ridiculously Flexible Searching Begin

The first public version of Viewzi search is available today. (cheers)

Starting at around 7:00 am, Viewzi was available via a special link from TechCrunch and then 12 hours later, at 7pm tonight, you will be able to get in via the front-door.

Lots of buzz today--and about 10,000 searches in the first few hours.

A ton of work has gone into making today a reality. From the “napkin” that started it all back in December of 2006 when Chris and I started talking about ways to change the search experience....until last night at 2am when things were officially “done”, life has been a roller coaster.

The “Napkin” (the first whiteboard)

What’s next?

When talking about Viewzi and what’s next (yes, the bar is high), we often feel that we have just now only reached base camp (referring to base camp at Mt Everest, which my friend Jeff Turner reminds me is a really big accomplishment).

How high are the camps?

Base Camp - 17,500ft (5,400m)
Camp 1 - 20,000ft (6,100m)
Camp 2 - 21,300ft (6,500m)
Camp 3 - 24,000ft (7,400m)
Camp 4 - 26,000ft (8,000m)
Summit - 29,035ft (8,850)

Viewzi is all about changing the experience of search. A big chunk of that launched today. But in the coming weeks and months, you can expect to see a lot more. Each week, at least one new view will launch--sometimes a few at once. I am pretty excited about our first movie view, “BC’s Movie View” that pulls from a few of the best movie sites including Metacritic (yes, I had a hand in building this one).

We also are working on the Power Viewzer view (a view for those of us who always have more than 5 tabs open at once), and a killer blog search view.

Off to NYC this week to show this thing off....

Stay tuned.

NICE!! Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s was published. Tiffany’s was shot to worldwide fame in 1961 when the film adaptation staring Audrey Hepburn was released. This film and its star became icons, as did Tiffany’sTiffany
