Google buys shopping comparison site Like.com

Search giant Google has bought the shopping comparison website Like.com, the two companies said on Monday.
Like.com specializes in visual search technology that lets people hunt online for bargains using pictures of clothing, handbags, shoes or other items they might desire.
"We're pleased and excited to welcome Like.com to Google, where they'll work closely with our commerce team," Google spokesman Andrew Pederson said in an email response to an AFP inquiry.
"We're excited about the technology they've built and the domain expertise they'll bring to Google as we continue to work on building great e-commerce experiences for our users, advertisers and partners."
Like.com websites will continue to operate separately from Google operations, according to Pederson.
