You guys crack me up. This is a wonderful app. The bar has been raised. But, I do have toput on my tinfoil hat. Why?<p>Izic = Issac.<p>And,<p>Nuuton = Newton.<p>Are you guys stalking me?I'm sure you are not. And this is something entirely different from what I'm doing. But it would be neat because Ive never had a stalker. ;)<p>Still, let me tell you that visual search is a trend that everyone should be paying attention to. Touch devices are changing the way people browse the web. Text links are being seen as less favorable than image links. Why? I think the connection comes from the icons used to launch apps. People now sort of see link images as icons instead of just images thta link somewhere. So, in the future, you might see search becoming more about a lost of website icons with a small description under it (if any).<p>Congrats to Chuck, Greg, and the gang at Blekko. This is very nice. You make me want to learn Perl and apply.

Izik (pronounced "Itsik") is also a common Israeli nickname for "Yitzhak" (the hebrew origin for the English name Isaac; literally meaning "will laugh", and you can read the bible to figure out why).<p>But I guess you guys were going for "I seek"? (as in "ICQ" which was short for "I seek you"?)<p>Anyway, congrats! Looks great!
