Picitup.com is a very fast and functional image search tool for filtering pictures based on content. Picitup’s search engine indexes a few major image repositories, then provides you with tools to filter your results based on category, color, shape and layout.

Most major image search engines will provide you with a few ways to filter your results, but these are normally left to image size and maybe orientation. Picitup combines the indexing power of major image search engines and image repositories, then takes that service one step further by allowing you to fine tune your results. More »

Similicio.us is a very simple search engine, dedicated to a single task… Find similar sites. Basically, you provide similicio.us with a domain name, and it will return other sites similar in function or content. Now, at first glance this service is nothing new. After all, Google has been including their “similar pages” link in their search results for years. But - after I had a chance to use similicio.us - I found it returns some promising results…. sometimes unexpected, but promising none-the-less.

Before I talk about the functionality of the similicio.us, it’s important to mechanics behind the site. Similicio.us - as the name cleverly implies - uses Yahoo!’s del.icio.us social bookmarking service as it’s primary datasource. The site queries del.icio.us with the URL you’re looking for and returns entries with the same tags. This is a rather creative way to use crowdsourcing as a basis for a search engine. After all, this is what the concept of “tagging” was originally designed for. More »
