TuuSo.com is a search by image engine, and now focus on improving internet users' visual shopping experience. User can input an image, and search for visually similar products that s/he want to buy.
As an example:
http://www.tuuso.com/search?url=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.lockerz.com%2Fdecalz%2FW600%2Fimage001353330241017bhl3yp.jpeg
User can select the focus area using the cropper UI widget (click & drag on the image) e.g. her boot, and then choose category "boot" from the upper drop down box, the engine will return visually similar boots user can buy.
TuuSo mobile application: allows user to take a photo and search for products from their smart phones:

TuuSo open image search API: allows any 3rd party web/mobile developers to add image search onto their own products.

The TuuSo image search system is very scaleable: on the demo site, with 4 core and 2G memory (literally with the computing power of a laptop), they indexed 1M images, with very fast response time, way below the 300ms standard. (Esp compare this with the previous attempt of like.com, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like.com: "... Like.com has raised US$19.5 million ... As of November 2006, the website has about two million unique products ...")
