I’m not typically a fan of meta-search engines but Addictomatic (sent in my my coworker Cathy) looks interesting. In a very 2.0-ish way it presents to you results from sites such as flickr, live.com, Google blog search, Digg, technorati, YouTube, and many others. Each box containing search results can be repositioned on the screen via drag-and-drop. Here’s a few screenshots to give you an idea before you try it out.

This one looks cool – and I am a fan of meta search engines, so thanks for the heads up!
