The end of KeyWord Search as we know it?

    Well at least for image searches that is. Gazopa was recently presented at the TechCrunch50 conference. A Hitachi backed service from Japan, Gazopa aims to make keyword image searching obsolete by using a proprietary image analytics engine to search for related images based on shape and colour. Project leader Hideki Kobayashi used a handbag on a shopping site as an example. There is no need for image metadata at all.

    Scary for any webmaster trying to build that steady traffic eh.

    I hope it can differentiate a rainbow from a prism. :p In my guess, this technology would take a LONG TIME to get perfect.

    Interesting!
    Are you sure of the company's name? I am searching for it to learn more but I couldn't find it.

    Theorically sounds a great step forward, but how accurate will that be ? Have you tried it ? Were you there at the conference ?

    Unfortunately I couldn't make the conference as I'm in Tokyo right now, but I am not sure how widespread it's application will be to the everyday user. Possibly in niche areas where such a technology would be useful. Don't see Google quaking in their boots just yet.

    Image recognition software would be more appropriate for the 21st century than having bored humans type in tags to label random images, which is what Google do.

    If you have relevant images on your site, then they will come up in the results for this new techology as well.

    Exciting. This would be good news for photographers and graphic designers.

    There's big money in keyword searches for image's online.
    If some company can change that then , think people they control the world in that area for the next few years.
