New Silverlight based search engine from Microsoft (tafiti)

I like new ways to visualise my web searches and the new tafiti beta from Microsoft is a great example of looking at things.  Not only does it search books, web, rss, images and news sources, but it is also presented really well, you can easily save items and finally you can see a tree of relationships between the items found.

To understand more about what it can do, have a look at http://www.tafiti.com/faq.html.

Below is a sample search and the interface and some searches saved on the shelf that I can come back to at any time.

Below is a sample tree view of a search.  The amount of details can be controlled by the slider bar at the bottom of the screen
