Imagery: An alternate interface for Google Images
Google Images' interface is a lot like most of Google's products: It doesn't stick a lot of options in your face and it stays out of your way. That's a good thing, but once in awhile you want something a little more robust, and that's what Imagery is for. Created last year by Eliazar Cardenas, Imagery is a slick front-end for Google Images that adds a pile of features. Search results are displayed as thumbnails, not unlike the standard Google Images interface, but when you roll over an image a few of options pop up, including Open Source Page and Open in New Window, and an X button the hide that thumbnail entirely. When you left-click on a thumbnail a full-sized version is added to a sort of collection area below where you have more viewing options. Imagery's nicest feature, though, is its tabbed interface. If you've already got one set of search results open and search for a new set of keywords, the new search will be opened in an embedded tab. Though I'm not sure it'll replace the regular Google Images for my daily image-searching needs, Imagery might come in handy for more serious image-hunting.
