Pixsta is hoping to challenge Google’s dominance of search in the form of a sophisticated image search engine. Te company said that unline the text-to-text or text-to-image capabilities of search engines currently in use by search engines, Pixsta enables image-to-image search with its cutting-edge contextual image retrieval techniques.
Pixsta also revealed that it has successfully monetized its patent-pending technology by testing it via a revenue-generating advertising network for the online fashion retail market. The advertising ecosystem is similar to Google’s adwords model, but based wholly on images rather than text.
To challenge Google is not to talk about it but to do the work. They are probably just out trying to market themselves hoping to be bought, maybe by Google?
