Anyone Find TinEye Useful?

Well, it is handy in searching something like logos, and usually can't find things I needed.
But sometimes it is awesome, for example: http://www.tineye.com/search/297f46628922efbdb67988e862b4970a745ddcdf?page=5

If this works, this is great. The idea's great anyway, and I was excited when it sounded like Google was going to incorporate this feature in their image search, but they don't seem to have done so (or maybe I'm just missing something...I do vaguely recall it maybe being an April Fools thing).

This is a pretty kickass concept. It sounds plausible; Youtube already uses software that can identify a piece of music without any metadata whatsoever; I can see where there might be a way for doing the same with image patterns. I wouldn't be surprised if whatever software drives TinEye ends up finding its way into the copyright infringement war, or if it already has.

Great find U.

I found this a while ago, and was SO GRATEFUL. The problem is I have never been able to use it reliably.
