Pictures.com

This site pictures.com aggregates images searches so you can see (broken down by site) what YouTube, eBay, flickr, and more think of your search term. I like the idea of this tool visualizing inquiries, like some sort of search engine crystal ball. And what does the Internet think? I was expecting it to be judgmental, but I felt it was pretty objective. I guess credit goes to whomever is improving upon these search algorithms.

Being a vanity case, of course I tried “picturing” my name and it turned up fairly accurate results which were mostly photographs I had taken. Yet another reason for photographers and image makers to properly tag, keyword, and name their files.

Here is what picture.com thinks of Orange Photography… we’re looking good, right?
