Like.com is a brand-new search engine that allows you to search by looking at shoes and accessories featured in celebrity photos. Sounds lame, and it is, until you realize that you can draw a box around the exact part of the featured accessory you like… and like.com searches for other products that have that same feature.

Like the toes of Tyra’s boots but not the heel? Draw a box around the toes and see what like.com comes up with. For us, it found lots of similar (and cheaper) boots on stores like amazon.com.

Cool idea. The site is still in “alpha”, but we think this has a lot of promise. The celebs available for imitation are pretty weak…who tries to look like Britney Spears?…but we’re looking forward to the future.
