Pixsy unveils visual Web search | CNET News.com: "That's the virtual promise of Pixsy.com, a visual search engine that scours syndication feeds (in the format of Really Simple Syndication) for up-to-date images, and then makes them searchable. On Tuesday, the company will relaunch its engine with a revolving repository of millions of thumbnail images, which are drawn from photos and videos on sites ranging from The New York Times to Youtube.com.
'Anywhere there's an RSS feed, we consume it, extract an image...and make it searchable,' said Chase Norlin, founder of the San Francisco-based company.
As opposed to search giant Google, which retrieves relevant pages from billions of Web sites, Pixsy hones in on the freshest images from publishers, Norlin said. 'So you can now explore the Web visually.'"
