Google image search is one of the best things they’ve done in my opinion. When you do a lot of graph making, reporting, presenting and blogging (like me) finding funny/interesting images to go in them is a must.

Sometimes I have very specific ideas about what I want, sometimes I don’t and Google are hell bent on making image search the perfect beast to find them. The introduction of a colour filter is another genius feature which is only going to make our lives easier. Search Cowboys did a nice wee write up and I have to agree that it is a brilliant introduction.

Awesome filter options from Google Image Search

If you’re bored you can still log on to the Image Labeler to keep improving Google’s image offering.For the uninitiated this is brilliant; you get two minutes in which to view and label as many images as you can. You are partnered with a random other person and where your labels agree you get points – genius.

Here’s a classic from Dom’s recent effort:

Two labels eh...

Google’s drive to holistic search and providing the best, most accurate results possible is exemplified the best in the Image Search, both in it’s function and the user driven development. You can get involved and improve your search – it’s like a community improvement program but it’s actually fun!

What I’d love to know though is this;

What filter options you would like to see in the future?

What hilarious Image Labeler sessions have you seen?

Or do you think Google should just leave images alone?
