Visual is natural
by ssaikia March 11, 2008 10:02 AM PDT
Human beings think in terms of pictures and images. As such "visual searching" is certainly a more natural way to go about it. With increasing processing power of microprocessors there will come a time when our interactions with computing devices (e.g. computers, smart phones etc.) will involve more images and less text. Can't wait to try SearchMe. If Searchme proves to be successful then it will spawn a whole new wave of innovation and startups in this field.

SpaceTime Invented 3D Visual Search
by spacetime3d March 12, 2008 1:40 PM PDT
Actually, SpaceTime is the inventor of 3D Visual Search on the internet. You can view it at http://www.spacetime.com and try the real product now that is available. Searchme is an attempt to mimick the patent-pending process that SpaceTime launched this year at CES. The nice thing about SpaceTime is that you can search Google, Yahoo, eBay, RSS, Amazon and Images. In Searchme, you really don't know who is compiling the search results or how good they are. SpaceTime also delivers the ability to interact with your web pages whereas in Searchme, you are just looking at a photograph of a web page that is not the real thing.
