[2] Like.com, an image search engine, has launched today. What makes it a bit different from, say, [3] Google Images is that it can take images as well as text as queries. For an example, see the [4] Techcrunch post and the resulting search on [2] Like.com

Their marketing’s working well, then. Like.com were called Riya until recently and changed the name (probably with good reason). I wondered some time ago whether they would make it possible to search for images which were ‘like’ the Eiffel Tower, the Brandenburg Gate etc, etc:

I don’t think they’ve done that yet but hope they will
