Want to trace who's using your images?

This might be a start. NO idea how it works or how good it is but, it might be something good in the future

Looks to be a good start!

 

[Gary]

looks really cool! i added myself to the beta list

 

[BiNg]

That seems like a great idea.

Hopefully the full version will send the crooks a bill too

 

[StewartR]

Great find, Dod. I cant wait to play with it.

 

[Jimmy_Lemon]

ooo that is very cool.

 

[Janice]

Be good if it told you who has printed out your image too

 

[Kerioak]

I came across this the other day and applied to join their Beta testing list - I imagine this is quite a long waiting list

 

[grim8634]

Just signed up for a beta invite. Thanks! Not that I think anyone will be stealing my images, but I'm interested in the technology!

 

[Jimmy_Lemon]

ooo they just sent me my invite - now just got to work out how it works :|

 

[mole2k]

The beta invites dont seem to take long, i've been on the beta for a few days now. Not found any usage of my images that wasnt my own but it works really easy with the firefox plugin. A simple right click and voila!

Me to, so far tried a couple but it seems you have to resize your images first ?

 

[hepburn]

I applied and got accepted within an hour or so. Looks interesting.

I have found a few with 800ish pixel shots.

Just tested on some of my images, my don't they get around a bit, even found one on a chinese site 'Splendid China'

Excellent little tool and the IE plug-in works a treat (just right click on any image and scroll to tin-eye to search)

Although by their own admission, the search is still limited, but hopefully will expand into something really useful.

Thanks for the heads up

 

[Kerioak]

I think they must send the invites out in batches. I am using the FF plug in and it is VERY fast. It is finding some instances of my images and different ones to my Google/Piclens search but not as many as I would have expected somehow.

 

[Jimmy_Lemon]

I dont think it has searched Flickr - as that is one of the only places I know has some duplicates of my shots - always get 0 results on those searches though

 

[Kerioak]

Check out Les McLean's avatar - you don't need to follow the link, the address says it all

 

[Kerioak]

Jimmy - do you use PicLens a Firefox addon? This makes searching places like Flickr much, much faster

 

[hepburn]

I can hardly wait till I find any of my images being used elsewhere. A quick Whois and that will be the invoice dispatched in double quick time

 

[Marcel]

Signed up for this before, waiting for the invite now

 

[KayJay]

Just got my invite, the site itself is really nice and simple, very clean interface... looks like this could become a valuable tool.

 

[Forbiddenbiker]

Wow, that cool and damn clever, what fabulous solution. Hat tipped to the inventors.

... oooh gimmi gimmi..

 

[HIMUPNORTH]

Thanks for the linky Dod. Will go and have a search.

 

[Gary Wood]

Thanks Dod it will be interesting

 

[HIMUPNORTH]

I put Les' linked page through Babel Fish but it still doesn't make any more sense.

I like the board name "pastes the chart splendidly".

 

[Forbiddenbiker]

I'm got it installed now, and to be honest I'm very disappointed ....

... No ones stolen any of mine ...

 

[jemini]

Thanks Dod, looks interesting. Now awaiting my invite.

 

[allanm]

Me too, signed up for the beta, waiting for the invite.
