Snoox is positioned as a Pinterest-like recommendation service that lets users create boards of recommendations, add images and links, and surface friends' suggestions. The platform searches the web for images or allows users to upload their own and attempts to attach “Click To Buy” links from Amazon, Best Buy and GrubHub. Snoox initially prioritized building a web backend to support structured data search before launching mobile clients. The company launched iOS and Android apps that mirror the web experience while adding location-based tailoring for on-the-go searches. Snoox raised $2 million in funding to develop the mobile apps. The team says a great deal of its traffic already comes from mobile and it plans broader expansion across web, mobile, TV and other platforms while competing with other recommendation services such as Stamped and Thumb.
