Viewzi offers search challenge

Viewzi, a new search application, could challenge competitors in the field with its visual led results.
The application has launched in beta and tech advice site, e-consultancy, said it offers more customisation options than Google.
"Viewzi may not be as comprehensive," it noted " but it is arguably more appealing to look at".
The site has 12 search options, known as views, which can be applied to produce relevant results. This differs from Google's approach as it "allows you to separate these different searches", the site found.
The company has raised around $1 million (£500,000) and is looking to generate more money in the coming months.
Currently, Yahoo! Sites and Google Sites lead the top ten US internet properties. Analysts, comScore, found in February they had 139.5 million and 137.5 million visitors respectively.
