TinEye

Written by Ren West on October 4th, 2008

I was browsing around some photo sites I used to frequent and stumbled on this site. I had this exact idea a few years ago. Spider the web, finger print all the images you find, then let people post their own images and search for duplicates. It’s a great application with so many possibilities. Should have spent more time on it I guess. They seem to have done a great job though. Super fast too. I have a few feature options that I was going to implement in my version, so maybe I’ll just forward them along.

    Very nice… I’ll have to give that a try. Nice to see someone I recognize in that video as well. Lends some credibility to what could have just been “another” plug-in.

    After further review, I have to think that it doesn’t work. None of my photos are being stolen!
