Viewzi Offers New Look at Visual Search

(Page 1 of 4 )

If you're tired of standard search results that yield ten blue links per page, there are any number of visual search engines that can change the way you look at the web. But none offer quite the variety of Viewzi. Not content to provide one version of a visual interface on search, Viewzi offers more than a dozen.

Viewzi starts with the idea that there are sometimes better ways to present data than in a list of links format. If you're searching for a video, for example, isn't it better for you to see a screen full of videos rather than a list of links?

“Viewzi presents the right data the right way,” explained Brandon Cotter, who bears the title of Chief Viewzer. “The Internet has changed dramatically, but from the user's perspective, search has not fundamentally changed in 10 years. Our goal is to provide users with a unique and engaging way to discover information. Search used to be boring – we want to make it a bit more fun.”

The best way to check out a visual search engine is to see it in action. Here's the welcome screen for Viewzi:
