Search engine Pixsy Corp plans to unravel a site that hunts the Web for celebrity photos, and videos.
According to TechWeb.com, the new service, christened Starhabit.com, aims at becoming the largest aggregator of videos and still photos on the web. You could search for just about anything from Mel Gibson to Angelina Jolie.
Starhabit is an RSS-based site that updates itself as the news flows in will offer advanced browsing and sorting functions, as well as an AJAX interface, said Chase Norlin, Pixsy CEO. The new site boasts of the ability to locate a couple hundred thousand photos and videos, solely for the celebrity service. So, if something happened to a celebrity a minute ago, you are bound to catch up on all the gossip at Starhabit.
Pixsy, a Seattle based enterprise, which Time magazine this week elevated to the list of the "50 Coolest Websites" of 2006, also plans to eventually launch a gateway service called "PixsyPower”, that enables you to create-your-own custom photo and video search engine. Pixsy’s target market being small companies or individuals who may want to add video and photo search capabilities to their blogs, wikis or social network pages.
