Hi Charles, thanks for including Dipity in your top 5 unique search engine interfaces.  We’re announcing a complete redesign of the site later today, which is focused on not just the search, but allowing users to “follow” a topic search and get updates as the story evolves.  All our details of the new launch are below, but I thought you might be interested in the new angle on making search results stay relevant over time.

The scoop:

We’re going to unlock “Dipity 2.0″ later today with one simple goal: letting users follow updates from the people and topics they care about, and have fun doing it.

Dipity organizes updates from sites like YouTube, WordPress, Twitter, and 7500 news sites into “channels” on our interactive timeline.  Users can create their personal channels (lifestreams) from popular social sites like Twitter, Pandora, or Flickr to broadcast updates to their friends, and can start a channel about anything from Darfur to Dave Mathews in just a few seconds.

Dipity is the best place to go to catch up on your online world.

There are 3 simple ways to easily start Dipity channels:

* Web Search: Enter a keyword and we’ll scour the web for the most popular content and keep you posted.
* Feeds: Drop in an RSS feed and we’ll take it from there.
* Fresh: Start fresh and update with links, video, images and more.

Users can also sync their Twitter friends as Dipity friends so they don’t have to wait for all their friends to join to get started.  Publishers can sponsor their own channels and allow their users to subscribe to updates with a single click.

Thanks,
BK
