idealogical web search

in these hyper-partisan times, people often look for only those who agree with them. however, considering varying and/or opposing viewpoints proves valuable.

wired.com spotlights kosmix, a search engine which takes into account the 'web searching of politics'. using the google-like approach of page and link analysis, kosmix search results includes subsets of conservative, liberal and libertarian.

while the results can be spotty [remember, internet speak can get lost in translation], kosmix could be an interesting tool in increasingly partisan times...
give kosmix a try
