New fashion Diva in Silicon Valley
If you have used search engines to look for products, you must know the process can be an exercise in frustration. Whether it be Froogle or Shopzilla, it’s often impossible to find the product you want.
Artificial intelligence that can detect faces and images is now applied to the most practical situations: How to find that piece of jewelry or shoe that's hard to describe! Like.com is a major new innovation to the world of image search. It creates a digital signature that describes the photo's contents and allows to search by image instead of text. What this means is that if you see the watch that Paris Hilton is wearing, you can use it as an image query and Like.com will return results showing watches that look similar. Then, you can further refine the search with sliders that let you rank the relative importance of shape, price and color.
Soon enough the service will expand to household goods such as rugs and clothing. At present, it gets paid about 10% commission on each order it refers.
