Just the FAQs please
Who knew a FAQ could be so convincing? One of the great deviantART folks, posted a review of TinEye today. My favourite part? At first glance the service by new image search engine TinEye seems to be a great way of seeing if there are multiples of any image on the web. After looking at their FAQ I decided I liked it a lot more. Nice to hear that our TinEye FAQ rocks! We have tried to answer most...
TinEye, data miner
Happy Thursday, friends. Today’s TinEye tip includes a cool search submitted by Larry. What if someone has sent you an image, maybe via email, maybe they shared it on Facebook or ffffound. You love it and would like to use it as a screen saver, or perhaps in a blog post. The problem? Your friend can’t remember where he got it and there are no details about the original photographer...

Your results will...
Where in the world are your photos?
Omar Gallaga’s post “Where in the world wide Web are your photos?” caught my eye today for a few reasons. There’s a great citizen journalist story wrapped up in there, along with some thoughts on Creative Commons, copyright and giving your images away for free. One quote I found particularly interesting was: Share your photos with the world, or hide them behind virtual...
Nameless burger joint found!
Last month I was visiting a friend in New York who took me to this great, albeit hard to find, burger joint hidden away on the ground floor of a swanky Manhattan hotel. It was tiny, lively and tasty and I was trying to remember its name so I could tell another friend about it, but I couldn’t. In fact, I’m not sure it even has a name. I never saw a menu because all they sell is burgers...

TinEye helps UK photographer recover revenues
Colin Bell read about TinEye on a US photographers forum. He ran some of his images through our image search engine and came up with some interesting finds. One website (of a “rather well known organization” he politely says, not mentioning any names) stepped right up when he brought the use of his image to their attention. They offered to pay Colin and after a quick negotiation the...
