TagFetch: Folksonomy meta-search engine

TagFetchOne from the department of the inevitable: TagFetch is a search engine that pulls results from a variety of tag-friendly sites based on the tag(s) you enter. It's got a clean, usable interface with a streamlined Google-like front page. You can choose what kinds of results you want to see, i.e. news (Newsvine, Reddit), blogs (Technorati, Feedster), bookmarks (del.icio.us), or media (Flickr, YouTube), and results pages are organized accordingly. Results for each site have a handy "View More" link that loads more results without making you navigate away from the page (yay Ajax), but it's unclear exactly how results are ordered. 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.
