MiddleSpot: Visualize, Group, Annotate and Share Searches

MiddleSpot is a new search application that provides you with a different way of visualizing and saving search results. Instead of giving you a simple list of results for your query, MiddleSpot takes those results and displays them in a neat visual interface broken into two areas:

    1. the traditional, linear text based search results on the left,
    2. a thumbnail view of those same results on the right.

You can pan and zoom your search results like you would on any web map. When you find that you want to save you can add it to a personal workpad. You can optionally share your workpads for collaborative research efforts with friends and colleagues.
