PhotoShelter will be partnering with TinEye

Thursday, 24 September 2009 04:28 PhotoShelter

As of October 7, 2009 PhotoShelter will be partnering with TinEye, the reverse image search engine created by Idée, to deliver new benefits to PhotoShelter members that help you monitor online image usage and help people using TinEye to find you.

TinEye is a reverse image search engine. 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.

Internet Manifesto

1. The Internet is different.

It produces different public spheres, different terms of trade and different cultural skills.
