GazoPa Book Video

Here is a video for GazoPa Book, our facebook app. As you can see in the video, GazoPa Book focuses on browsing photos inside facebook rather than searching specific photos. You can browse photos inside facebook based on similarity. Photos are connected each other with similarity and you can browse them one after another like taking a walk inside photos. I believe this is a very unique way to browse photos inside facebook, because there was no choice for users to search photos besides searching by keyword.

There is no search by upload, search by drawing at GazoPa Book, although these features are very popular at GazoPa.com. So GazoPa Book is not suitable to search for a specific photo. But I think GazoPa Book can be acceptable by users who like to wander on the web in order to encounter nice photos. Honestly, we like this app and we spend quite a few time to wander the sea of photos. The heaviest user of this app may be the GazoPa team.

Yes, not a few users want to search for a specific photos inside facebook, so please give us your feedback about our GazoPa Book.

Update of GazoPa book

We released two new features to our facebook apps, GazoPa book, that make browsing images much easier and fun. One is the feature that enables users to see other user's images easily. Click ''s other photos' next to small thumbnails. Images similar to other user's profile and albums can be displayed.

The other is a 'shuffle' feature. Click 'shuffle' at the top right corner of GazoPa book. Other user's profile and albums can be displayed at random. You can start to search similar images to click ''s other photos'. In addition, when you access to Gazopa book, five images from other users can be displayed at random. This helps users to encounter other users that have your favorite images.


These features are very intuitive and keyword is not necessary to search images. I believe these two features give users unique ways to browse images in facebook. Please try it.

Update to facebook application, GazoPa Book

We just updated our Facebook application, GazoPa Book. Now you can search for similar images at your facebook network. So similar images from both facebook network and web are displayed as search results. The more people use this app, the more wonderful results can be come out. Please invite your friends to this app. But don't worry, results are displayed based on photo privacy policy that are previously set. i.e. If you set your photo privacy policy as shown to everyone,these photos can be searched by other users. If you set it as limited to friend, the results will be shown to your friends only.

Since we just released this feature, searchable images at facebook is limited. So be patient and invite your friends!

Your feedback would be highly appreciated. Enjoy new feature!
