ivsou.com: A Visual Shopping Search Engine from China
Like.com, the first visual shopping search engine, has had robust traffic growth and headed toward profitability, while in China, ivsou.com aims to be a successful Chinese like.com.
Similar to Like.com, ivsou.com, launched in last December, offers a visual product search engine service, it means you can find items based on images instead of text, it enable you to search products by color that you desire or by similar looks. If you search the items by an image, you can further refine the results by color, price range and sites. It does not support refining results by detailed features of the item. (watch its demo here)
ivsou.com now search products listed in several major ecommerce websites, including Taobao.com, Paipai.com, eachnet.com (previous eBay China) and Amazon Joyo. It now can only allows you to search bags, search on clothing will be released soon.
ivsou.com allows you to upload a product image (after you installed a small upload tool) to search similar items in ecommerce sites, I tried it by uploading a Tommy Hilfiger’s handbag from Like.com, I got the results as the screenshot below, the results are not bad, though it still have tremendous room for improvement.
The company behind ivsou.com is a Nanjing-based startup called Seekpai, who also run a photo sharing website Seekpai.com with some unique image recognition features.
