TinEye – Reverse Image Search Engine
Sometimes, a service comes up and and makes you think, “Why didn’t anyone think of this before??” TinEye elicits precisely that reaction.
The idea is simple. You have a picture. Its something which you think might be taken from the net. You want to know what it is. Just upload it to TinEye and the engine searches through its database of 1.26 billion images (and growing) to find a similar image. By following up to that image’s context, you can extract information on its subject. Of course, it won’t work for every photo, but does so 80% of the time.
Check it out. Someday, it’ll help you.
P.S. I stumbled across it while solving an online quiz… the type where using any help is allowed and the quizmasters give many connect-the-picture’s-subjects problems thinking that since people can’t search using images as keywords, it’ll be hard. Ha! Hope they don’t read this blog 
Yo, this one is a great application and I was wondering since years that why doesn’t google provide such a service.
