10/1 Starter

Hi everyone, for my starter I am going to be talking about visual search engines. Higher internet speeds and better graphics support on browsers and computers have allowed visual search engines to become a viable alternative way to search the internet. I think the best (and most fun) way for you to prepare for my starter is to play around in a few visual search engines. You can see what it is like to search in these engines and you can also get a feel for the many different interfaces a visual search engine can uses.

Bing Visual Search Galleries - http://www.bing.com/visualsearch

Search-Cube - http://www.search-cube.com/

oSkope - http://oskope.com/

With the exception of Bing, there are "how to" links to help you figure out how to navigate through results.

Have fun!
