TinEye Web Site Review

Legit Reviews held a competition the other day where people were able to submit their designs of a graphics with the chance to win a ATI 5870 and their design slapped right on it! A very cool competition indeed. The rules stated that the work must be your own or you have the permission of the owner. If  you want to see all the entries you can over on Legit Reviews. There were some cracking entries and of course some not so good but it was great to see all the designs.

As people were posting “their” designs though a few questions were being made towards the authenticity of a few of them and whether they were original or not. Therefore a fantastic website was used to help determine this. It is called TinEye. The site allows the user to upload an image and it will attempt to crawl through its billions of image fingerprints to find an image that matches or partially matches. The Video below Shows you exactly how it works…

The website is really easy to use and worked better than I expected. It solved alot of problems over on the competition page for people claiming the work was their own! Go on give it a try see if your logo pops up!

Website: TinEye

Rated: 8/10 – Really great idea, and works really well just needs to add more images.
