Interesting display. Lots of customization, but the interface takes a bit to load, and it's kind of wide :(

Bit confusing as to how to get started, is there any "quick & dirty" tutorials that teach me how to use the bells & whistles?

Flash Player Required....

Oh well,

Not keen on the flash bells and whistles.
Would be happier if non-animated PNGs were used instead.
Like the idea of user feedback.

i liked it, although it crashed opera (6.04) when i used it

A search engine which I can't intuitively get right into isn't really going to cut the mustard for me. Not my cup of tea at all - but maybe other people will like it.

The stumbling block with things like this, at least for me, is that if I find a site in Google or Yahoo that meets my needs, a site I liked, I'm gonna bookmark it in my browser. Why do I need to "bookmark" it in the search engine?

Sure, maybe next time I'm on a different computer and don't have access to the same set of bookmarks ... I get that. But with things like this, when my SERPs start to get filled with all the sites I gave 10 hearts to, how do I ever find new sites? I think the idea has promise, but I don't care for the execution.

I like it. Shift the page left, it is too wide. And I like to use my mouse wheel, right click seems disabled.

I kind of liked it, but if the design was better (use of colours etc), I would've loved it.

Is this by the same company as kartoo?

[KartOO4U]

Yes www.ujiko.com has been developed by kartoo.

Have to agree with some others in that it is too wide and too slow. I am on dialup and did not have time to wait for any results.
