Visual Search Engines

Here's something fun for you to try...

Most if not all of you are probably familiar with visual search results: seeing a visual representation of your search results instead of a group of text links. If you've ever used Google Image Search then you know what I'm talking about.

Below are two search engines that have put a new spin on visual search results.

Searchme and Viewzi not only allow you to search and see pictures, but they also allow you to see screenshots of the web pages returned for a standard search. While the technology may be a little slower, it does give you a chance to preview the page before you actually visit it.

After you've used these two search engines, leave a comment and let me know what you think.
