Application: Addict-O-Matic
I’ve seen this tool floating around the Twitterverse and Diigo lately and thought I’d have a quick look at what it does; and as a place where lots of information can be gathered, I’m impressed. Dave Pell writes
Addictomatic searches the best live sites on the web for the latest news, blog posts, videos and images. It’s the perfect tool to keep up with the hottest topics, perform ego searches and feed your addiction for what’s up, what’s now or what other people are feeding on.
From its homepage Addict-o-matic opens up with a simple search function, into which you put your search.
My search for ‘Tiger Woods’ provided ample information for me to sift through. I like that I’m able to change my sources and customize the references I need. A dropdown box is available for this to happen.
It’s nice to clearly see all forms of media readily visible. There was video and pictures from Youtube, Trueveo and Flickr, social updates from Twitter, Friendfeed, entries from WordPress and news items from services such as Yahoo and Google. From my use, all the entries for each source were relevant and accurate.
As a place to see all forms of media in one place, there is ample here to satisfy the references you may need. Worth having a look and I can certainly see why it has been gaining attention through the cyberverse.
