Do you like what you saw? Here's where to find it
With the Holiday shopping season almost in full swing, new shopping-related websites are popping up faster than your can say "Charge it," and I'm not just talking about your basic online store where you click in knowing what you're going to buy and buy. I am talking about the whole new world wide web 2.0 of shopping -- browsing, discovering new things things to buy on the fly, and just sort of "hanging out."
One new site in this genre is Like.com, which helps answer that question we also ask in our heads when looking at photos of celebrities, "Where did she get that?" From their database of celebrity photos, a shopper can zero in on a specific accessory with their cursor, and Like.com's technology will search and show results of products that are similar. For example, drawing a box around a wristwatch in a photo of Paris Hilton brings up hundreds of watches that look similar.
It's a cool concept, and of course, there is room for improvement as the site is still in "alpha." For example, most of the time, I don't care about finding shoes like Jessica Alba is wearing. I want to know the exact shoe, designer, and style. Also, Like.com doesn't do clothing yet, which means I am still on the hunt for that plaid skirt on Victoria Beckham!
