Following on from my previous post regarding the security of images, here's a neat little way of keeping check of your images and where they are being used online.
Tin Eye is a reverse search engine that hunts down where your image is being used on the web. Although still in development and unable to check every single web page, it does work. I myself search every now and again if an image of mine has received a lot of hits on Flickr from unknown sources. Just a couple of weeks ago I found a European online magazine using my Stonehenge image without my consent, I wrote a strongly worded e-mail to them and they apologised profusely and removed the image.

Wow, thanks for this - I'd never heard of this before and it looks fantastic.
Cheeky so-and-sos, using your photo. Guess they just thought they wouldn't be found out Wrong! :D
