All About Like.com

Like.com is a unique online shopping and comparison online shopping search engine that explains the different items not just in text, but also through pictures. Like.com enables online shoppers to quickly and successfully hunt the product they want. Besides, Like.com has some unique features that help you find the different product variations to make your comparison online shopping a success.

In its own words - Like.com is the first true visual search engine, where the contents of photos are used to search and retrieve similar items. We believe that there are literally millions of items that are difficult to describe via text-based search and where individual tastes are all over the map -- think of your favorite pair of earrings or shoes and what an ordeal it can be to find something new but in a similar style.

Here’s a short description of what Like.com is all about.

Uses Exclusive Likeness Technology™

Like.com uses its own Likeness Technology™ to help you get the exact item that you are looking for while shopping online. According to Like.com, “We created Like.com to solve the challenge of finding "the perfect you" for a broad range of aesthetic and soft goods. Like.com utilizes our Likeness Technology™ to create a digital signature that describes the photo's contents and enables a more accurate search for similar looking items and products.”

  • Likeness Search™ - the ability to search by image instead of text.
  • Like Detail™ - finds items that have a specific feature you like (such as a buckle, straps, bezel, etc).
