Try out this image search engine.

You have to draw something for it to search a database of images. Very cool.

Cool :) I want the search engine that can match me humming bars of songs. (Its been promised for years now and I still haven't seen one in action).

There was one built into a very poorly designed and overpriced mp3 player a year or two ago. It was very unsuccessful and not released in this country.

You hummed a few bars of the sound and it searched a database online when you synced it with your computer, if I recall correctly.

I'll try to dig it up for you.

hehe - after hearing this "humming" on a couple of occassions now, I can't imagine any handheld device being able to match the song ;)

That's interesting Leigh, but it reminds me of the old psychology test, no matter what I draw it comes up with pictures of pussies :P :P

(Of the cat variety you filthy minded people!)

I was pretty sceptical about this, but it's not too bad at all. A little hit and miss, but that's probably just as much to do with my terrible mouse drawing skills. :wink:

Nice find, Leigh.
