A revolution in trying to find pictures online. It's common to find a picture that you sought of want on Google image search but it's not exactly it. The colors are off, the picture is not clear enough, large enough, its a poor illustration, etc.
Microsoft's Live Search for Images has just changed the game. I just saw the band Vampire Weekend perform a few nights ago. For a blog post, I wanted to get a picture of their album cover. Type in Vampire Weekend to Live Search Images and you see pictures of the band and a cover or 2 in early results. When you scroll over an album cover, an option to "show similar images" appears. Click...
<<>> MAGIC!
Now all the picture results are of the album cover and you can sort by size, color, etc. to find the perfect one. This a big leap beyond anything Google offers in this realm.
