Visual search has been around for some time. However it so far is not so impressive. zoomii.com, however change that. Zoomii.com allows you to view most books on Amazon as if you were at a book store. They are lined up on book shelfs and placed in categories. Also just like a book store they are sorted by authors last name. You can also search for one book to. Over all this is a great way search for books and to wast time. (Below is over 19,000 Books.)
Adobe is leaping into the business of online tools. One of their first online tools photoshop.com, allows you to simply fix up pictures online. It may not a new concept, but it works pretty well. They also build Buzzword, which is a online word processor. Their newest online product ties in Buzzword, Adobe Connect Now, and of course Acrobat into one online tools set. Acrobat.com is a great simple to use tool kit. This site allows you to write documents (with Buzzword), create PDF’s, share files, and conduct a live online meeting (using Connect Now). All of these tools allow you to share with others. Best of all as of now they are all free. I would of liked to see the PDF maker to be a little more useful, but worked just fine. All in all I think this is a nice site with good looks.
