Clusty search for mobiles / strawberry picking, Ann Arbor

I've been collecting links to mobile versions of web sites; they are appearing more frequently, and the results are getting better all the time.

The latest one to try is Clusty mobile search, which is built on top of the Clusty search engine, which in turn is a clustering tool on top of a few other 2d tier (Ask) and 3d tier (never heard of them) search engines.

It certainly returns different search results than Google - not random, not always great but often good, and interesting enough to warrant a try.

Clusty's claim to fame is its clustering; e.g. if you search for "strawberry picking Ann Arbor", you get 4 compact search text results plus links to results grouped in clusters of Ann Arbor, Michigan; Picture; Blog; Music; Member; Restaurant; Movies; Books. Clicking through any of those shows results in that cluster only. If you have used Flickr's clustering tools it will be familiar.

The right answer, by the way, is not found on page one of this or any other search results on the net I have found. The word on the street is that the best place to pick berries around Ann Arbor this year is Rowe's Produce Farm in Ypsi south of the Rawsonville Road exit. My informant Katrina writes

We picked strawberries this morning at Rowe's on Martz Road (just off
Rawsonville Road). The picking was good too. I don't believe they are
organic though.

More local strawberry info on Arborwiki. Kitchen Chick picks at Rowe's too, and provides this strawberry chocolate shortcake recipe.
