Sorry for the hiatus for the last few days. I was on the road for the first few with no great way of posting, then was moving into a new house all weekend and didn’t have time.
I hope you all have a great day!

If you’re like me (in this very specific way), you haven’t heard of Riya. Well, actually, now I have, so why don’t I spill the beans. In a word, Riya is a search engine (don’t roll your eyes). Unlike your run-of-the-mill search engine (I’m looking at you, Google), Riya searches visually, and matches things based on similar visual characteristics. The search matches not only products and the like, but actually recognizes faces in your pictures, ostensibly making it much easier to sort them and search through them.
Riya’s offices are located in San Mateo, CA. The inside looks like a cubicle farm, but they do have an X-Box hooked up to a flat-screen TV. And a bar. And a nice pond outside, for those hot Silicon Valley days. Overall, Riya gets the OS seal of approval.

We’ve featured other travel sites here before (Orbitz, nix-wie-weg), but none that are quite an ‘gnome’y as Travelocity. No the office isn’t totally gnomed out, though there is one peeping creepily at the turtles.
For starters, I love the view of from this office. A great, high-up view which is really important for a site like Travelocity because they need to be able to see everywhere in the world with a pair of binoculars for reservations’ sake. For finishers, it looks like they have a pretty nice office layout with plenty of space to get work done.

Just thought I’d let everyone know what I’m going to be up to the next few days. Right now I’m most likely on the road to Las Vegas on a quick whirlwind trip to Zappos.com for a tour of their offices/facilities. I had planned on spending a little more time out there, but I forgot this last weekend was Easter weekend.
On Wednesday, I’m flying up to San Francisco to tour Digg. (Cooper wins)
