As most of you know we launched TinEye, our image search engine, in closed beta and since its launch it has garnered quite a following and fan base. This has been tremendously helpful to us…what better way to improve an image search engine than have a very involved community sending you feedback on a daily basis?
Tux: Boy does he get around!
Our snazzy image search engine is getting a lot of notice these days, thanks to our great community. Did you see us on Digg? Awesomeness! We love our TinEye fans, thank you everyone!
Everything is Visual: Introducing the TinEye Mona Lisa Widget
Because we love to have fun at the idéeplex we came up with a snazzy, embeddable widget that demonstrates the image identification technology behind TinEye: the image search engine! What is TinEye you ask? Given an image to search for, TinEye tells you where and how that image appears all over the web – even if it has been modified. When you want to find out where an image is being used on...

We like to Wordle
Wordle is awesome! Two thumbs up to creater Jonathan Feinberg.
We love new, cool web toys here at the idéeplex. Have you tried out Wordle?
Wordle is a website that generates “word clouds” from text that you provide. Plan to set aside some time, it’s addictive (kind of like searching images on TinEye)!
Check out our TinEye Wordles.

Well, we are not the only ones in the world who love robots! Have you seen the Mozilla robot? What a beauty!

I will do
“I will do what I’m told without question ’til I’m old” or the shorter version “I will do” is the title of Maura Cluthe’s robot sketch and I have to say we love it! Her robot sketches are awesome. Have a look for yourself.
