Long lists of links to websites, even when accompanied by brief descriptions, do not work well for me.  I’ve discovered that I am far from alone in this regard, so I’m sharing a search tool that yields engaging visual results.

search-cube offers a straightforward search box for entering search terms.  The search results it yields, however, are images of home pages.  These home pages are arranged on the six faces of a cube, with 16 sites displayed on each face.

It’s easy to rotate the cube with the arrow keys on the keyboard, or by holding down the shift key and dragging the mouse.  Rolling the cursor over an image on the cube brings up a larger image beside the cube, along with a little more information about the linked website.

Here’s what the search term ‘tiger’ yielded.  It’s easy to see at glance which sites might be worth visiting.  It was quite easy to locate the Wikipedia article, but I was disappointed that I couldn’t find the entry for Simple English Wikipedia.
