- SearchMe, the Seqouia backed visual search engine, just added a music search tab that brings back results with free, legal, unlimited full-song streams and cover art you can flip through
- Great way to search for cover art, discover new music, create playlists, etc.
- For now they are using the backend of iMeem’s music widget technology as well as their umbrella of licensing permissions from the big 4 labels.
- SearchMe won’t be able to cash in on any affiliate revenue from the iTunes, Amazon buttons to buy the songs, but with enough traction they can turn this site into dollars.
I still prefer HypeMachine for discovering and streaming my music. Is this a better tool for you?

- SearchMe.com, best knows for its iTunes ‘CoverFlow’ interface to engage in search, is not happy today with Yahoo’s new BOSS promotions.
- The picture shown here, is a near exact replica of SearchMe’s interface used for Yahoo’s ‘Builld Your Own Search Engine’ campaign.
- SearchMe has nothing to worry about. Their business has everything to do with its front end display, where Yahoo was just showing off BOSS and it’s back end abilities.
- Hence there is no confllict of interest here other than showing everyone that building a similar business to SearchMe with Yahoo BOSS is very possible, which it is.

- SearchMe, the visual search company that has raised $43.6m, is moving their concept to the iPhone this week.
- SearchMe has taken Apple’s ‘CoverFlow’ idea and applied it to search, displaying entire web pages and images in results unlike traditional text search.
- The app is young and still lacks certain filter features, but nonetheless will be a cool alternative to regular search occasionally. ..
- SearchMe is having minor success thus far, seeing 224,000 uniques a month according to Compete.
How do you feel about visual mobile search?
