Google has acquired Like.com, which offers a visual search engine for retail products, a deal aimed at boosting Google’s shopping search capabilities and services like its Products engine.
The acquistion comes years after the first rumors emerged that Google was interested in buying Like.com, which was initially known as Riya when the company was founded in 2004.
Like.com CEO and co-founder Munjal Shah announced the deal on his company’s home page on Friday. “We see joining Google as a way to supersize our vision and supercharge our passion,” his note reads.
Using computer vision and machine learning technology, Like.com provides a visual search engine focused on shoes, clothes, jewelry and decor, according to the company.

Hot Chips “Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them,” said mathematician Alfred Lord Whitehead, in his 1911 tome, An Introduction to Mathematics. And with its Autonomic Computing effort, IBM believes it’s advancing civilization.
On Monday, in Palo Alto, California, IBM gave attendees at this year’s Hot Chips conference a deep dive into three of the latest developments in its nearly decade-long effort to create computers that dynamically self-optimize. “As good engineers we always put guardband in just to cover our tails,” Power7 EnergyScale architect Michael Floyd told his Hot Chips audience — somewhat less elegantly than Lord Whitehead, whose quote introduces Automatic computing on Big Blue’s website.
