Boston Startup: Tikatok - A Children’s Book Creation Platform (One for the Kids)

The company started when two mom’s in the community wanted to encourage the imaginations and creativity of their children through the creation of art and stories and compiling them into books.  Their idea has turned into a bona fide startup with a user base that has nothing but go up since the service was launched.

SPEZIFY THE INSPIRED SEARCH

There are a multiple ways to search items and names visually on the web these days, but nothing that presents results from a large number of websites quite like Spezify. It looks like a multimedia art project making search a more intutive experience, thus giving you a better overview of the subject. Check it out, it’s clearly a very visually stimulating search engine.

thought this looked interesting and tried it myself… yep, it’s fun. kind of creates a personal collage of pictures and articles. I really like it visually but not sure if I would use this regularly as a search engine. most of the results seemed very old - only a few were from the past couple weeks.  I’ll give it a shot though and see how that goes.

Cool layout and newspaper/scrapbook feel.
