[Sigia-l] Faceted Search - non-library, non ecommerce sites

[Geoff Froh]

Incidentally, there is an interesting article by Vik Singh about how he used 
the Google Coop Custom Search Engine (CSE) service along with a set of 
tag/bookmark data exported from del.icio.us to create a hybrid Google-facet 
interface for some of his AI resources.

See: http://zooie.wordpress.com/2007/01/03/google-co-op-just-got-delicious/

He even created a simple web app (http://basundi.com:8000/login.html) that 
will automatically create a CSE annotations file using your own del.icio.us 
account.

Cheers,
