Viewzi – Cool Little Search Engine Toy

I stumbled across a cool little search engine in beta, called Viewzi.  Now I’m not making this out to be a Google killer or anything, but it’s a kind of fun way to troll through web sites if you are looking for a visual representation of the page.

My favorite of their searching options was the “Web screenshot” view.  Now, my take is that this will be less helpful for certain types of searches than others.  For example, I think it did better with a search on Cristiano Ronaldo (below) than the Georgia-Russia conflict (above).  And the algorithm isn’t perfect.  When I searched on my own name, it at first attached me to the usual places, but then attached me to a bunch of web sites with “Spring Creek” in the name.  So, it was a good effort to look at say, AndyBoyer.com, see a link to SpringCreekGroup.com and make that connection, but then it took it to far when it surmised I also must be part of SpringCreekFishing.net. 

But I’m not here to criticize.  It’s kind of cool to play with, and there are a few target markets I’m sure they are already very popular with.  Check it out at Viewzi.com
