TinEye: Reverse Image Search Engine

TinEye is an interesting new search tool that may be useful for research and teaching involving the use of online images. According to the Tin Eye site, "You can submit an image to TinEye to find out where it came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or to find higher resolution versions. TinEye is the first image search engine on the web to use image identification technology rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks." This can be very helpful for locating copyright information for presentations and for finding the best resolution of images to display in D2L and in online class material.
