Picture Search


What's the best way to find the perfect picture on the internet? I'm sure your favorite web savvy amigo would respond with "Google Images." By searching, via text words, you can find the image on a site. This works pretty well, but a text based search engine, for images is perhaps not the best way to go.

I just found out about "Retrievr." (Yes, I spelled it correctly.) Here, you draw a sketch, with colors, and the search will find the image based upon what you drew. This is quite cool, and worked ok for a tool in development still. Google will probably buy it within the hour!
