Visual Searching

Have you ever searched for a site online but only could reminder bits and pieces but could not fully recall the url? If so, there a few sites out there that may help you find what you are looking for.

searchme.com or viewzi.com offer interesting methods for searching. By displaying an image of the web page, users can search for sites they know by look or just briefly catch an overview of the destination site before clicking through. While this isn’t cutting edge or brand new, it is one step further towards using visual components towards function.

I dont think this is ready to replace Google but it is useful...
