[...] GazoPa is an image search engine created by Hitachi. It allows you to search for specific attributes in images — say if you find a handbag that you like, you may want to find handbags with a similar shape but different colors.

Matt,

Like.com is nothing but a arbitrage play like nexttag, shopping.com, business.com etc . . . dont eat up the hype diggdeeper. . .
