What’s New?

Gataga has just notified TechCrunch of new functionality:

- Gataga photo search (through Flickr)
- Gataga Mobile

Photo Search:

The new functionality allows tag searches of flickr images. It works well, if a little slow (give them time, their server has been crushed with users). This is a great addition to the overall tagging meta-search, and hopefully will be integrated with normal searches in the near future.

Our favorite test is to do a search on Selma Hayek, our favorite actress. Here’s the results (remember, just flickr for now):

RSS feeds for searches are avaible. I would like to see the URL change to a set URI for the search as well, an easy fix (allows for posting to the search, emailing, etc.).

Gataga Mobile:

If you have a cell phone or mobile device that supports XHTML (WAP 2.0), you can get Gataga results on your mobile device (point your device to gataga.com/m. Technorati and Flickr tags only at the moment, but these guys get new functionality up fast – expect more soon. Screen shots here:
