My findings are. I find the interface from Like.com just to much. Easy browsing like on ChezImelda is much more my style. Quick click on an image the network resorts itself and I have a view into a large base of shoe inventory. Reminds me a lot of how simple google is and maybe also a reason to be more successful. Just compare and report back! would love to see other people views.</p> Having tested both Like.com and ChezImelda.com (also this one is only for shoes) following Steve’s comment – ChezImelda is claiming to have 90,000 shoes indexed by image similarity.

Riya have some competition on this one - London based PIXSTA launched www.chezimelda.com recently - a huge online shoe store browsable by image. Comparing the two, Like.com's site is more polished and great fun (I like the celebrity section), but for a PURE shopping experience www.chezimelda.com is much more intitive. It will be interesting to which one consumers go for.</p> Nice article.
