"Our visual presentation makes it easier to find the good websites you're looking for. The thumbnails of each site help you instantly know whether a site is relevant to your search"
Paul Rydell
Founder, SearchShots.com
"SearchShots.com is dedicated to improving the way users search the Internet by making the experience more visual," explains SearchShots.com founder Paul Rydell. "Our visual presentation makes it easier to find the good websites you're looking for. The thumbnails of each site help you instantly know whether a site is relevant to your search. SearchShots can also help you re-find websites you've visited but didn't bookmark, add to your favorites or remember the address."

Besides its appealing visual format, SearchShots.com also supplies highly relevant, pre-screened results, making searches faster and more enjoyable. Currently, SearchShots' database includes more than 1.3 million screenshots of websites listed in the Open Directory Project (http://www.dmoz.org), the most comprehensive directory of websites on the Internet. Like a cross between a vast reference library and the yellow pages, the Open Directory Project contains only websites reviewed by highly selective expert editors, so users get the most targeted results. Parents and educators also appreciate that SearchShots.com does not include blatantly pornographic content in its results.

SearchShots.com is a privately owned company based in Irvine, California. For more details, visit
