Pixsy: Visual Search
Pixsy has developed a unique search engine that delivers only visual results, in the form of thumbnail images. We call this “visual searchâ€. Pixsy collects visual material from thousands of providers across the web, resulting in millions of photos and videos for you to search and browse. Traditional image search engines take a mathematical approach to search, with the focus entirely on relevancy. With Pixsy, you can search for both photos and videos by “relevanceâ€, “categoryâ€, “providerâ€, or “freshnessâ€.
One of the best things about Pixsy is the ability to search multiple media sites for the latest content like, YouTube, Revver and Fotolia.
As a meta-aggregator of visual material you can explore content from multiple providers with just one search. Their visual search technology extracts photo and video content from RSS feeds, enabling them to deliver the freshest photos and videos to users (browse the latest news photos, the latest sports photos, the latest celebrity photos, the latest funny videos, etc). Pixsy enables any website to run their own branded photo or video search engine, with their own content (if desired), at no cost.
Pixsy Corporation has offices in San Francisco, CA and Seattle, WA. According to Nielsen//NetRatings, image search is the fastest growing vertical search category on the Internet today. Pixsy was founded by a team of engineers and business leaders hailing from Microsoft, Sony, and ValueClick.
