We will attend these conferences in June, two are held in Silicon Valley and one is in NY. We will exhibit at our booth or make a presentation at the conferences, so please come to see us if you have a chance to attend these events.
GazoPa for iPhone is available at iTunes App Store, so you can use GazoPa at PC and iPhone as well. We were asked by many people if there was a mobile application at AltSearchEngines Day 2 and Web2.0 Expo last week. It’s regret that we couldn’t release it there.
I think iPhone is an ideal channel for GazoPa because of its camera and touch screen. It’s very convenient for users to do image search just after they take photos. Take a photo and upload it for search, it’s a continuous flow. Since the number of images that we have in our database is a part of images on the web, it has not achieved the level to tell what the uploaded image is. But even now we can say what it looks like and what it can be. I think this can change behaviors of people about search. Meanwhile, touch screen allows users to draw something whenever they want. It can become a convenient canvas for users.
There are two conferences for us next week,AltSearchEngines Day IIon Mar30 and Web2.0 Expo Apr1-3. This is the first time for me to participate in AltSearchEngines Day II. Our session, Image search, will start from 2:15 PM and I’m very excited to talk with image/visual search experts. This is the second time for me to join the Web2.0 Expo, but is first time to exhibit at Expo. We will be at No.1 of the long tail pavilion, so please drop by. We look forward to seeing old and new friends.
More than one month has passed since my previous post. Gazopa is hit by financial turmoil? GazoPa stops developing new features? NO, NO. Actually, we have beenfocusing on developing wonderful feature. This new feature will be the most powerful one we’ve ever developed. We believe this will make GazoPa much more convenient and GazoPa can be used much more in daily life. I think we can release this during Web2.0 Expo. Stay tuned!
I’m pleased to announce you that I, Hideki Kobayashi, project leader of Gazopa, am invited to AltSearchEngines Day Conference II in San Francisco as a panelist. Thank you, Charles. We’ll participate in the session of ‘Image Search’ together with Cooliris, Viewzi,and Imprezzeo. We have participated in several events and conference after our launch of private beta, but this is the first time to join a conference related to search engine. I’m very excited that I can discuss with specialists in search engine field. This conference will be held on before WEB2.0 Expo in which we’ll exhibit, come and see us!
We’ll exhibit at the long tail pavilion of WEB2.0 EXPO in San Francisco during Apr1-3. If you enter a discount code websf09ecm2, you can get a $200 discount off any Conference registration or a free pass to the Expo. We plan to release new cool feature during the Expo.

I heard that we’re selected in The Netxplorateur 100. Ten companies are selected among these 100 and these companies can make a presentation at France senate. Unfortunately, we’re not the one that can go to Paris, but we’re happy to be among 100 companies. We have many users from France and they might have helped us to be selected. Thank you for your supports.
GazoPa is a next generation similar image search engine that use image features such as a color and a shape that are extracted from image itself. Project Leader, Hideki Kobayashi, will post an entry. http://twitter.com/gazopa
