Ads are a necessary evil when browsing the net. We all see them, we all browse right past them, but it looks like the powers that be are working on new and inventive ways to shove them in our faces.
The latest concoction brewed up by the folks at Pixazza, Inc. is a tool that turns items in pictures into clickable links (presumably to a virtual check-out with that item). And, while supposedly the backend for implementing this feature is a bit complicated, the user interface is intuitive. Visitors to a site will be able to simply move their mouse over an image to reveal any additional information they might want, via a pop-up tab.
So, if you see Scarlett Johansson wearing some sweet shades, and you’re looking to get yourself a pair, look no further then the pop-ups that will soon accompany your images.
Progress!

Hehe, links to porn or lingerie shops. Maybe even plastic surgeons. =P
Could possibly be used to point to a website afilitiated with the content thats tagged. Like a myspace or official website.

Me too.
Although for a virtual catalog its an interesting idea. I occasionally get product catalogs in the mail and its nice to see a photo of the item next to its description. This would be great for an online catalog. You flip through images and just move over the little link of the product you're interested to get more info.
