When Ryan Sit, also the founder of TopicFire (ReadWriteWeb coverage) started PicClick, a year and a half ago, it had two tabs - eBay and Amazon. Now it has seven, having added Etsy, Match.com, AllRecipes, Google and Yelp (the last still under construction). And it looks smart on an iPad.

Sit told us that in addition to reaching out to encompass more content under the search, the interface has also been improved upon.

"Besides the new sections on PicClick, the entire website design has been updated based upon requests in our feedback forum to improve our visual search interface. It is now much easier and cleaner to browse."

Given the increasing use of mobile computing, and crazed iPad lust, the speed and cleanliness of the rendering is bound to help sell the service.

"With PicClick you can see hundreds of products on one page, you can maximize full-screen for even more, infinite scroll, and zoom slider on the top right. It just allows you to find things 100x faster."

I'm not certain but that the 100x figure might not be hyperbole. It is fast though. (Sit subsequently wrote back and said he'd measured it at 12x.) And real purdy. PicClick plans to bring an additional section each month, starting with Yelp.

About eight months ago, PicClick added international versions of its search, Sit said. A growth spurt, to 11, including the U.S. version, happened a couple of months after that.

Ryan Sit is the man behind Favtape and Swurl, both of which have been folded into PicClick.

To use PicClick, simply choose either the Amazon or eBay tab, enter a basic search term or drill down using pre-selected topics, and add price information if you like. Then, hit search and - voila - your browser is suddenly filled with a series of thumbnails, giving you a visual representation of the available products matching your criteria.

Aside from being visually compelling, PicClick is fast. It manages to return relevant results exceedingly quickly. Plus, flying through hundreds of entries seems a great deal easier without having extemporaneous information cluttering the page.

Clicking on any of the thumbnails takes you directly to the product page on the respective site. Thumbnails too small? There's a slider that dynamically changes the size of the images.

According to StartupSD, the service is the latest brainchild of the prolific Ryan Sit, the developer who created FavThumbs - a similar visual browser for delicious bookmarks, Favtape - which ReadWriteWeb's Frederic Lardinois called "Muxtape on steroids," and Swurl - which RWW's Marshall Kirkpatrick described as "your lifestream made beautiful."

To start - literally - looking for what you're looking for on Amazon and eBay, visit PicClick.
