Like.com is the first true visual shopping engine.  Riya, Inc. is the company behind Like.com’s ground breaking image technology which looks inside a picture and then matches similar items.

There are literally millions of items that are difficult to describe via text-based search and where individual tastes are all over the map -- think of your favorite pair of earrings or shoes and what an ordeal it can be to find something new but in a similar style.   Like.com solves the challenge of finding "the perfect you" for a broad range of aesthetic and soft goods.

Like.com has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Shape Magazine, Women’s Wear Daily, Fox News Channel and many other news outlets.

As of February 2007, users can search and purchase items from thousands of well-known and boutique brands in leading e-commerce categories such as shoes, handbags, jewelry, watches and clothing.

Promotional Opportunities include:

• Hot Picks on the home page or category pages.  These products are featured as popular items and are very common starting points for our users.
• Merchant or product features on our Likewise Blog.
