I'd like to see results drawn from more sites, and I'd also like to see more customization (though registered users might have more options--account creation seems buggy just now). I'm not sure how useful TagFetch will be for serious searching, but it seems like it could be useful for digging up media and discussion about current events, of just for killing time.[Via Street Tech]

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
