Google Similar Images and News Timeline Searches
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Internet
Google has two new programs in the works. Similar Images uses pictures for searching instead of text. As an example, click on the word “Paris” and you get Ms. Hilton, the Eiffel Tower and a photo of an old church. You then click to search further.

Search through mags, newspapers, blogs or Wikipedia.
