Visual search engine Searchme has announced the addition of two new features. The first is Media Search, which allows users to search for videos and images from YouTube and Flickr. The second is "Stacks," a visual bookmarking and sharing features that enables users to share what they find on blogs, social media profiles, email and web sites.
"These visual search applications enhance our core search engine by allowing people to use Searchme in fresh, innovative ways across various media and all over the Web," said Randy Adams, Searchme CEO. "It's another step in our long-term plan to add features and functionality, improve our beta engine's relevance and coverage, and create a world-class search experience."
"Until now, most web users have had to check multiple bookmarks every day, click on dozens of links pasted into an email, and hunt multiple times for sites they saw once but didn't have time to check out," said Adams. "With Stacks, they can now bypass these methods, saving time and creating an organized web experience."

Social bookmarking and search services have been exploding in popularity recently, but I've yet to find one that combined ease of use and flexibility in just the right way. I've been playing around with a new "social annotation" service called Diigo that launched this week, and have been favorably impressed. It's simple, easy to use, but offers a lot of power, especially when it comes to searching—both the web as well as content that you've decided to save. More on the new service in today's SearchDay article, Diigo Offers "Social Annotation" Tool.

Gataga is a new service that lets you search against bookmark at del.icio.us, blogmarks, blinklist, jots, spurl, furl, simpy and connotea. You can apparently keyword search against bookmark comments sent in feeds or by how those bookmarks were tagged. Like the idea? You might also try the Yahoo Directory, the Open Directory or even Zeal, which are similar ages old collections of bookmarks tagged into categories. You could also try Hotlinks, which was all the rage in 1999 as a community bookmarking and search service. Oops, it died, as did the idea of P2P search. Well, Backflip from back then is still going. And maybe 2005 won't be like 1999.
