• TinEye to Announce Index of Over 1 Billion Images:
  Leila Boujnane of Idée Inc. and TinEye says they will also launch a new service similar to Google alerts which notifies a user when a submitted picture is posted online. "Our goals are similar to Google´s goals", she says. "And that is to index all the media that we can actually possibly index, and that’s for images and video as well."
  It´s a fairly lofty goal - with Google indexing an estimated 4 to 6 billion images at this point.
