Picitup is a visual search engine, that like so many other search engines, piggybacks off of Google or Yahoo and begins with a textual search. Picitup is certainly fun and easy to use. It’s better than what Google currently offers and visually more interesting.  Simply enter your query in the search bar, and Picitup will show the results from one of the two. You can filter searches by clicking Similar Pictures under the picture of your choice or filter by Color, Landscapes, Products and Faces. There’s also a naughty filter to fend off those NSFW pics that may pop up. For fun, you can toss in a picture of you and your closest friends and play Celebrity Matchup—see which celebs you resemble most. Picitup is now in public beta.
