VentureBeat: Visual search engine Like.com closes $32M round

    I was expecting a site like Searchme.com, but it looks more like a shopping site than a search engine.

    Whoops, I can see how that was a little confusing. I've rewritten the first paragraph so it's clearer what Like.com does.

    The site is fishy: after all this "million" $ poured in, the home page looks the same to me as back in July. I tried to run some search on drugs and watches, and frankly like.com is a directory - the one you see back in 90's.

    Yes, I read those "purchased traffic" posts back but my suspicion grows further more now.

    I am just wondering why there are so many buzzes about this site?

    Well, I guess you've already read Matt's posts making the case for Like.com's success, so there's not much I can add. What is it about the site that strikes you as "fishy"? What exactly are you suspicious of?

    Not too snappy.
