If you are a cooliris (formally known as piclens) fan, you will be sure to love the up and coming search tool – viewzi.

Unlike cooliris which is a plug-in that allows you to search only for pictures/videos in flickr, youtube, googleimage, facebook and etc, viewzi is a search engine which you can download to your internet browser.

Unlike the the normal search engine (google and yahoo), viewzi returns information searched in views tailored for your needs. The creators of viewzi searches for the best places and sources of information and they pull everything into one search tool which efficiently helps you to find what you are looking for.

    

For example, if you were looking at technology items, viewzi returns information searched in engines such as crunchbase, techcrunch, etc. If you are looking for news, viewzi search for information in CNN, reuteurs, google news, etc. If you are looking for recepies, viewzi pulls out recepies from epicurious, 101 cookbook, etc.

What is interesting is that, for one item searched, the results returned in different views, ranging from simple text, web screen shot, timeline view, site information view.

For the girls, viewzi has two views which you will be delighted to have (if you stay in the US):

1) everyday shopping view which searches ebay, walmart, amazon.com and target for your online shopping.

2) celebrity view which provides pictures and the latest gossips of the celebrities

With the nice looks (much better looking than most original sites where information is found) and the ease of information returned, viewzi does live up to the name of being the ‘iphone of search’

My favourites of them all:

Books: Viewzi provides consumers’ reviews divided into favorable and critical comments.

Photos: Instead of looking at one picture at a time, Viewzi loads all of them in large collage.

Mp3: you can listen to the song on the search view itself.

3d photo cloud view: This view group the pictures accordingly to the tags and you can even drag the tag out to generate more photos under that tag.

Even though viewzi is in its beta version, i am sure it is finding its way onto the browser of more individuals.
