Type in something and go hunting. Kind of reminds me of visuatheasurus which was a great implementation of linking words visually.

WOW! Thanks a lot! That's excellent for brainstorming.
afterglow, I hope you don't mind I promoted this one to the front page.
It's been a while since I've seen something done intelligently.. Incredible interface.
Thanks for sharing afterglow and Ivan for promoting it..

The Flick'r image navigator cool, and it works well, but it's predicated on people adding tags to the images they upload. Apparently, though, people are pretty good about doing that...or is does Flick'r make keyword tagging a requirement to upload images? I think the cockeyed UI is a little gimmicky, though. It's distracting and serves no purpose.
The visual thesaurus thing is brilliant, but the online version caused caused a SBBoD every time I navigated through the word tree. I'd love to see it running natively as an app on my system. I'd use it all the time. Could be well worth the cheap price.
Reminded me of this link to search Amazon...
