大好きなハンドバッグにぴったりの同じ色の靴を探している、デザイナーブランドの商品のデザインが大好きだけど、似たデザインで安いものを探している...といった時におすすめなのが「Like.com's」 の「Likethis visual search（これに似たヴィジュアル検索）」というツールです。このツールは、みなさんがアップロードした写真をもとに、スタイル、色、パターンがぴったりの靴、ハンドバッグ、ドレスなどを探して数分後にメールでお知らせしてくれる機能です。 実際はどうなの？ ということで、米lifehacker編集部のジャクソン・ウエストさんがメンズのプラダの靴をアップしたところ、すごく似たJos A.

Apparently you guys out there caused a big enough stink. Either that, or T-Mobile’s customer care was inundated with calls today.
