Oh great, another image search engine, do we really need more? I think TinEye is an awesome little image search engine. It’s completely different to other search engines. With normal search engines you type in a keyword and then it shows you images based on that keyword.
With TinEye you can upload an image and ask it to search where on the web this image is located. It doesn’t just work with the filename either, it analyses the content of the image. It even shows you images that are similar, i.e. including the same words.
Why would this be useful?
For one thing, you can search the Internet to find out who is using your company’s logo or any of your design work. You can also use it to trace any incrimination pictures that get emailed to you to verify their authenticity.
A complete description of what TinEye can offer you is available.
There is even a Firefox extension available that allows you to just right click on any image and with a click of a button search the web to find more occurrences of the image.
