Like Visual Search. So, like, what's the likeness for disappointment?
Like, I had expected so much more from Riya's impressive technology than the Like Visual Search. I mean other than like a home-shopping-network-meets-access-Hollywood search engine.You do know that, like, they're really smart and stuff? Like, and I quote (like, emphasis is mine):
Riya was founded in August 2004 and has assembled one of the largest visual computing research teams in the world. Its mission is to simplify search and ecommerce by harnessing the latest breakthroughs in visual computing. It has almost one dozen patents pending in the areas of visual recognition and search. Riya has raised $19.5 million from venture and private equity investors, including Bay Partners, BlueRun Ventures, and Leapfrog Ventures.
If this is, like, the best that, like, the best and brightest (and well funded) can create, ya know? Then, like, I fear, like, our time is close at hand. Thomas Hawk of, like, Zoomr, is like disappointed, as well.
Like, bummer.
