Navify, which brings Wikipedia together with images and videos, launched today with a mention on TechCrunch and typically, its servers faltered. It's up at the moment, and worth a look.

String theory is enhanced by the images and videos; but Navify can't handle "trompe l'oeil" or "Hillary Clinton, although Wikipedia has a trompe l'oeil page and a Hillary page.

First-day wrinkles will settle out. Navify is sure to save time when you're browsing culture, history and entertainment figures, especially; something very generic, such as "steel," benefits less.
