Attachments.me Puts A Visual, Social Spin On Email Attachment Search

Searching Gmail for attachments is basically awful. Because everything in Gmail is so text-based, searches yield results that are also text-based. But what if there was a Google Image-like search option for attachments? And what if it was one that had a social element to better filter results? That's essentially what Attachments.me is building. Currently, the service works with your Gmail credentials. You login and it begins indexing all of your email, looking for all of the attachments you've ever received. Once it does that, it breaks them up by file type: music, code, archive, movie, image, and document. And the main navigation page is populated with thumbnails of each of these attachments sorted by either the date they came in or alphabetically. But the real key to the service is search.
