...Actually that's not really true - I am like a kid let loose in a candy store, as you know. I have to try everything, until I'm all sticky, and then I feel sick. But I digress.
This search site truly is super cool. Check out Viewzi. Basically, it's not so much about the number of search results you get, but the many different ways you can view the results - in photo cloud view, web screenshot view, videos view... it's nearly impossible to explain, just go have a look, plug in a search term and see for yourself.
I thought to myself, though, what a great and fun way to "listen" for chatter about your organization. Maybe there are videos and photos out there that you didn't know about. Maybe you set up some "placeholder" profiles in random places that you forgot about. Maybe there are discussions going on in places that you would not have thought to look!
Not only that, but this way of thinking visually could be a source of serendipitous inspiration. Sometimes it's just really refreshing to look at things from a different angle! Sometimes it's fun to get all sticky! It doesn't have to last long. I can't see anyone using this for serious tracking - but if you drop in once in a while, you might discover some new flavors and nuances that help you breathe life into your communications. I don't know that this will make any sense, but go and have a look. See what you think.

It's not often a site makes me say "wow!" out loud.
