oSkope, cool visual search for Flickr and Youtube
2007-09-17 11:56:00 I like oSkope very much. oSkope is a visual search service which allows you to search Flickr , Youtube Amazon and Ebay. oSkope displays any relevant images that match the search keywords. It will pulls list of images based on the search term that match the products.I like the way they show the images, oSkope gives 5 ways to view the images; Grid, Stack, Pile, List and Graph. Its intuitive user interface just ease you to search the products without change or going into another pages. All are done on one page. Once you click on Youtube video finding, you are also can play the video.Overall, oSkope is just great and I'm hoping for better features in the future such as navigation to revert back to my previous search result. However, I saw that registered user are have right to save their search results, but switch back and forth option is just basic for a web service.[via] More About: Cool , Search , Visual
