Tin Eye – Reverse Image Search

As a follow-up to yesterday’s post about copyrighting images, I had a Tweet from Schofields in UK (they provide holiday home insurance for UK cottages & overseas property and blog on holiday letting, travel and property news).  They mentioned that its possible to also check and see if other people are using your photos illegally and it reminded me of a link that was shared at the Blizzard Internet Google Boot Camp last week.

Tin Eye is a reverse image search engine. You can input an image URL and it will deliver information on where an image came from, how it is being used,  and if modified versions of the image exist.

On the continued topic of content theft, and if you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know I was particularly peeved yesterday to find one of my best Google rated articles appearing under a different name promoting an Orlando resort.  Here’s another article that has some useful information on how to deal with content theft.

Let me know if you have any more tips on dealing with this issue.
