The other day I came across a new service offered by Bloglines, it is the so-called “Image Wall” that enable the users to search the blog content by simply click on the image listed in Image Wall. Bloglines is a well-established online service that allowed people to search, subscribe, create and share news feeds, blogs and rich content on the Web. It is so popular and has eventually been acquired by Ask Jeeves (Now: IAC Search & Media) in year 2005. On the Image Wall Web page, you can see that there is a totally 24 thumbnails showed in one direction (from left to right and in top-down manner). When a user click on the image, it will bring the user to the image’s URL, i.e. blog itself. But before a user enter to the site, he/she must agree that “You are over the age of 18 and understand that the material included in the Image Wall may involve language, content, images, and themes of an adult or controversial nature.” According to the agreement listed on the Image Wall.

I visited the Bloglines’ News page, the Bloglines Team said the Image Wall is a whole new way to discover new content. It’s interesting — sometimes mesmerizing — and just plain fun.

I agreed.
