Viewzi – A Visual search Accumulator

Earlier I have written a post about a visual search engine called RedZee . Viewzi in contrast cannot be called as a pure search engine, they can be called a Search accumulator. Different search engines employ different algorithms, this throw up varied results for the same keyword. Many attempts, both successful and unsuccessful were made to combine them to a format. Viewzi is the latest attempt in that, with a completely different approach. Viewzi define their service as "Viewzi is a new and highly visual way to search that brings all your favorite stuff together in one place."

In contrast to the other services of similar kind available on net, Viewzi stands out for the varied options it provides to the end user. They provide you a Screenshot view which basically access Yahoo search engine.




The video search option searches the popular video sites Blinks, Veoh, YouTube. Then there is the Basic photo view option which searches Riya and Flickr. Her you have the additional option of choosing either one of Riya or Flickr, and the size of the images. Another option is the Simple Text Search which is similar to our normal serch option; this option searches Google and Yahoo to fetch results. Then there is the more powerful 4 Sources View in which in addition to Google and Yahoo, Ask and MSN is searched. Here also you have the option to deselect any number of above mentioned search engines. The other options are Shopping view, Book view, Reuters news view etc. But the most interesting has to be the Celebrity Image View which searches Google Images and just jared. This one displays the images as a pile with the option to zoom and move each one of them.
