I didn't think it was great, but I didn't think it was all that silly. And it has the benefit of being relatively easy to remember.

I haven't finished the writeup yet, but earlier this week I pushed out a trend search app you might want to check out - it crunches some of the same data:

http://www.trendingtopics.org/

Try the type-ahead autocomplete based on trend, you'll find some interesting topics...

As time permits I'll be adding some categorized cuts and better trend detection algorithms

Not to mention “Navify” is a silly name. Back to the drawing board for goofy fancy tech website names.

I wouldn't ever use this, because in Navify, to see the images, I have to click a tab (not much different than opening another browser tab); and to see the videos, I have to again click another tab. Worse, the images shown on Navify don't even come close to finding the eligible images on Google Images.

Another Web 2.0 dud, I'm afraid.
