Google Image Swirl Labs

March 22, 2010

I had never heard of Google Image Swirl Labs until today when the domain showed up in my stats.

About Image Swirl from Google:

Google Image Swirl organizes image search results into groups and sub-groups, based on their visual and semantic similarity and presents them in an intuitive exploratory interface. Try this tool to resolve an ambiguous query visually (apple, jaguar, beetle)  or to explore a concept from different visual perspectives.

Although I received a referral from Google Image Swirl, the search query inexplicably pointed to a page with no corresponding alt tag or description containing the search term.
