Google Swirl
Another innovation from google that gives you the same information as a normal search, but now with slick motion and connections of similar images shown in a way that sends the bing images (which seemed so cool when it was launched almost a year ago) back into the dial up dark ages.
Your image search starts with sets of related images organized in stacks for you to choose and launch your swirl. From there you choose the path of your image search by the linked images. Images are linked by similar image content and shown in group levels that expand and contract based on the number of images included in the group. Images load quickly and once you are into the initial search, the images refresh and change seamlessly. Of course it's flash and won't load on your iphone, but android users will get some use out of this application.
Google Image Swirl resides in the google labs wing of the search mecca and can be linked to when you click on images. Launched in November of 2009, this search function hasn't and may never make its way on to the google main stage, but it is definitely worth your time (I bet you waste some more while you are there)
The possibilities are endless for interesting searches and google offers some suggested searches to get you started. Into architecture or art or fashion or cars. . . whatever you are looking for, this search displays images to meet your search desires in a new way.
