We will add a dozen early next week as people really liked the widgets. We started talking about letting users create their own widgets, there is a significant amount of work in doing that at our end, but we are exploring it. Thanks for dropping by.

I really like those composite images with the derivation history. Have you considered generating them automatically based on search results? That would be cool.

David: the order of the search results displayed on TinEye.com are always the same: they go from the closest match (ie the image that had the least number of modifications/transformations) to the image that is the least identical (ie the image that had the most modifications/transformations). Basically what this means is that your first results pages are going to be very close matches to your original search image and that the later page matches are going to be the least identical.
