Virtually Here

Finding yourself aimlessly searching the internet after having exhausted the social networking generated entertainment for the evening? Feeling lost..? Well, why not head over to ffffound.com and discover how what your image taste really looks like?

Ffffound.com (I swear I still have to count the number of f’s every time to get it right..) is a rather novel ‘image bookmarking tool’ that allows you to search for images that are reminiscent of images you tag or bookmark as images you find pleasing/interesting. The further you ‘train’ the site the more interesting and accurate are the results that come back. You can also share the images you bookmark with other users (which is the weak tie-in to social networks, I really like the concept of the site and wanted to post something about it).

The downside, and I still haven’t figured out exactly why this is needed, is that you have to download and install either an IE extension (who the heck uses IE these days apart from people forced by their company to do so?) or a bookmarklet (for all browsers). I am not particularly keen on installing anything from sites as I a) change computers a lot and b) am a very fickle user and don’t want to end up with too much crud wasting away. But if that is no deterrent to you then head on over and give it a spin and see if you can ffffind (I counted…) your refined image taste.
