ABSTRACT
The demo paper describes the Creative User Centric Inspirational Search, which aims to leverage user inspiration in information seeking activities. CRUISE is an interactive exploratory search tool that combines diversification of content and sources with a user interface design that visualizes cues from the social chatter generated with microblogging services such as Twitter and lets users interactively explore the available information space. The tool is based on the observation that users often use the social chatter to follow links and initiate information seeking activities which can lead to unexpected discoveries which can in turn inspire them.
