Scary geeks who stalk code have just discovered a new hook which can be appended to the end of any Google search. Thanks to facial recognition technology, Google image search can now ’see’ faces and provide images of them exclusively.
The magic’s simple. Type say… the ‘c’ word into Google and you’ll get the pseudo medical results you’re used to. Add ‘&imgtype=face’ to the end of the URL and you’ll find out who the web thinks the term fits specifically (Lindsey Lohan, Barbara Bush and John Bolton, surprised?)
This will make porn surfing more efficient, you can be sure your images of Jenna are the right Jenna before you click, and should make spamming Google with badly labeled information considerably more difficult. Good for webmasters, good for bloggers, bad for people who don’t label their images.
Your mileage may vary, results range from pretty, pretty to just unfortunate. Who’s the face of ‘insert expletive’ is my favorite new game today.
(N.B. The #1 photo result for ‘porn’? John Ashcroft.)
