Mystery solved without TinEye’s help!

James Danziger over at The Daily Beast chronicles his search for the photographer who took the initial photograph that Shepard Fairey used to create the Obama Hope image we are now all familiar with. Great little article, and all this without TinEye‘s help!

TinEye in Israel

Is it 2009 already? How did that happen? Happy to welcome you new year – but hey slow down a little, we need a bit of time to appreciate these first frigid months in Toronto. Don’t know about you folks but we are experiencing some crazy cold weather. Ah but we love it! We are Canadian after all and cold winters don’t scare us. Although when I see TinEye reviews in far far away...

I would add to it Multicolr – because I am biased and it is a great tool! Thanks for the TinEye mention. Always great to hear from and...

Durban and TinEye

I would really want the weather to improve in Durban, because when the weather is crap – Daniel Cuthbert’s words not mine – he spends his time using TinEye and that’s really good but he find out upsetting things: like say his photograph(s) being used without permission. That’s not nice and that’s why I really wish that the weather would improve tremendously in...

PairNIC Epic Fail

Hello folks, you probably have noticed that TinEye is down and you are most likely wondering why that is? I mean the lovely folks at idee take their servers and service seriously and would not take away such a wonderfully useful image search tool. Or would they?
