TinEye on the trail of the British National Party
I now know that I am not the only one who is TinEye-ing every single image I come across on the internet. I have become a TinEye addict. I am soon going to need to start a TinEye Anonymous group: Hello my name is Leila and I am addicted to TinEye! I bet I would be in great company. But on to the British National Party. Did you know that: The UK Telegraph reports that pamphlets distributed by the...

Kacey found 3 results on TinEye, we found 7. Problem solved. Nice work TinEye.
Sorting TinEye search results

Seeing more than double!
Derek has a great little article about TinEye and the future of image recognition driven search over at About the Image.
