Riya's Journey from Photo Search to Visual Search

I've been following Munjal's account of how Riya changed course from photo search to visual search.  It is  a great read for all internet entrepreneurs, because sooner or later you will have to change course.  That's a fact of life, and easy to say for a VC.  Harder is knowing when to change course and how to do it quickly.  Riya appears to have done the right things to answer both of these questions.  I recommend all entrepreneurs to read the episodes of how this, now well known, startup is changing course.  This is a rare chance to get a glimpse under the hood of how things are done in startups.

Riya's story also illustrates the brave new world blogging companies have created. We seem to take it for granted, but the transparency allowed by blogging CEOs is more educational than any business school class can hope to be.
