As most of you know I track the Everywhere Girl appearances and when I have time I even update my blog post. Today this is a quick post as I just used TinEye and landed on the Microsoft Finland page with you guessed it…the Everywhere Girl on the home page. If you are not familiar with the Everywhere Girl, start your adventures here and here.

We love the idea that TinEye could make learning and education a little bit easier!

Searchme and TinEye are particularly good for those teens who are visual and who might be...
TinEye got TechCrunch’d!
“I’ve seen my fair share of image search demos, and they usually promise far more than they deliver. But last week, I finally saw one that deserves the name.

Spot the iPhone!
Over a year ago Jason Kottke photoshopped a Windows desktop onto an iPhone and posted it on his very popular blog. Yesterday it was spotted on an Australian TV news show.

And you guessed it: this little image is famous! The iPhone...
