TinEye is certainly busy searching up a storm. It is great to see so many nifty search results and to find out how our beta image search engine is helping you locate images online. From photoshopped cows to book cover artwork, TinEye is finding amazing matches.
Here are just a few of the recent cool searches that have been submitted to us by TinEye fans from around the globe…
Have you seen this image?
As you all know I am a big fan of the Everywhere Girl – in as much as I collect all her appearances online and in print, but I decided to expand my collection: I am now on the lookout for the most used business images, the most used dog, most used cat in advertising. Have you seen this image? I bet you have! And so did TinEye… And how about the proverbial business handshake? Have you...
Portfolio building with TinEye
One of the challenges faced by microstock photographers is building a portfolio of images in use. Odds are that once an image is purchased it’s unlikely that the photographer will hear back about how and where that image was used. How do you demonstrate that your work is in demand? What if you just want to show your published work to friends and family? As we’ve heard...
Locating original images with TinEye
Veggurl posted a query on Yahoo!Answers a few weeks ago asking “Could you please help me find the original image? I found this photo on photobucket. It has been modified. I am desperate to find the original photo. I have tried searching on Google and Yahoo, no luck. Can someone help me? Thank you.” Here’s the image she posted: Unfortunately the only response didn’t help...
TinEye finds your image sources
Sometimes people ask us, what exactly can you use TinEye for? Well, there’s a long list, but here’s just one example of a great way to use our image search engine. Mitchell liked an image he found on the website pixdaus.com and posted it to his friendfeed. Unfortunately, the photographer’s name was missing and there was no link to the original image source. On friendfeed you can...
TinEye: Image Search Top Dog!
John Conroy’s 75 Bleeding-Edge Search Engines To Beat Google puts TinEye in the “Top Dog” slot for Image and Photo Search Engines, saying “this thing is gonna be big, boys and girls.”

It seems like data room lady has a challenger. TinEye found “stock photo help desk lady” in over 40 places on the web. You can check out the TinEye search to see all the results or request an invite if you don’t have a beta account. Help desk lady is busy! She works for so many companies… impressive!

Taking the lead in visual search
Idée and TinEye get a nod from Tom Keenan in ‘Cloud computing a down-to-earth solution’ from last month’s Business Edge. Keenan says “Idée is definitely in the visual search-engine lead.” Yes we are!
TinEye Around the World
Thank goodness for translation software as TinEye has been traveling the world. So what’s the latest? I have only a vague (google translated) idea of what Robert Kneschke is saying here but I do know he’s a fan and that he writes lovely things about us in German. Vielen Dank Robert! Kaly from makeuseof.com also reviewed TinEye on their site. TinEye. Let the games begin is from our...
Meanwhile, somewhere in the East… a TinEye story
Scott Liddell scored a TinEye beta invitation yesterday and I have to say, he has some lovely finds. Using TinEye, Scott searched for his images in our index of over 700 million images and came up with some surprising results! Scott shares on his blog: And someone at HP seems to really like my fruit because it seems to be in quite a few places. So do Channel 4, in the guise of that odious jobbie...
