New digital photography search engine launched
7 September 2004
Kentucky-based company Photopheed has unveiled a new digital photography-only meta search engine.
The new site aims to "cut through all of the internet clutter and return only relevant digital photography-related search results", according to a statement from the firm.
Users click on a Search button at www.Photopheed.com and are presented with a page of digital photography categories and sub categories in a familiar "portal site" layout.
The meta engine retrieves results for potentially hundreds of relevant web sites and summarises the results in bite-sized pieces. The user can then click on any 'Preview' link and see the information as it is displayed on the actual content provider's website without leaving Photopheed.com.
The site also offers daily syndicated digital photography news and content feeds from across the internet as well as blogs, forums and reviews that are all continuously updated and archived for use by amateur and professional digital photographers.
"Photopheed uses a special algorithm that submits background queries to the major search engines, sorts through the results, ranks them according to relevancy, and then displays them for the user," said Photopheed webmaster and director of marketing for Warren Lynch and Associates Inc, Nathan Lynch.
"Digital photography is an exploding market segment," he added. "Amateur and professional photographers alike are on a constant search for relevant information. Traditional search engines return too much unrelated material. It's time for a smart digital photography-only search engine."
