TinEye.com is an image search engine that allows you to upload an image or paste the url of an image in a search box and search for other examples of the same image on the Web. This is especially useful to see if anyone else is using your photos without permission. It works GREAT, but the TinEye database is still small (486 million images) but growing each day. Considering there are probably 100 times that many images on the Web, it's in its infancy.

TinEye offers a free Firefox plugin that really makes it easy to search the database. Install the plugin, restart Firefox, and right-click any image and select the TinEye search option to quickly search.

If you're interested you can go to Tineye.com and request membership. It took about 3 days for mine to be approved. Remember that the site is in beta.

Cheers / Sam
