Thing 11: Social tagging and search

I did a very basic search on the term 'survivor'. I was interested to see what wildly varying results I got, and I wasn't disappointed.
Delicious, Google, Zuula and Kartoo focused on the TV series, a music group, and a clip of that name.
Murdoch Uni catalogue had only 4 titles - related to the surviving partner and their needs, and the UQ catalogue had 119 results with a smattering of fiction & non-fiction.
CiteUlike had a medical focus, and I couldn't get Connotea to work for me.
I found Kartoo quite disconcerting = I'm obviously not as visual a person as other people, although maybe if would grow on me given time :)
