Like Visual Search - Find Things By Appearance With Likeness Technology
http://www.like.com/

Like.com is the first true visual search engine, where the contents of photos are used to search and retrieve similar items. They believe that there are literally millions of items that are difficult to describe via text-based search and where individual tastes are all over the map -- think of your favorite pair of earrings or shoes and what an ordeal it can be to find something new but in a similar style.
They have created Like.com to solve the challenge of finding "the perfect you" for a broad range of aesthetic and soft goods. Like.com utilizes their Likeness Technology™ to create a digital signature that describes the photo's contents and enables a more accurate search for similar looking items and products. Their initial launch focuses on handbags, jewelry, shoes, and watches - allowing users to search and purchase items from thousands of leading and boutique brands. They will very quickly add clothing and a number of other aesthetically oriented product categories. Key features of Like.com include: a) Likeness Search™ - the ability to search by image instead of text; b) Like Detail™ - finds items that have a specific feature you like (such as a buckle, straps, bezel, etc); c) Like Color™ - find color variants of the item you desire; e Like Celebrity™ - find clothing, shoes and accessories similar to those worn by your favorite celebrities; f) Like Upload™ - the ability to upload your own photo of your favorite item and find the same or similar products, coming soon. To learn more about Like.com and the great ways to use the product make sure to visit their blog . Happy shopping! This has been added to ShoppingBots 2007 Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
