Google Image celebrates 10,000 million images indexed
Gives more importance to their own images to the text, so that now “it is easier to view multiple images at once.” In this regard, placing the cursor over an image, it will increase its size and displays the information in it. And now no need to change the page to continue viewing images, but simply have to browse the results page, which fit “up to 1,000 images.”
Another change occurs when you select one of the images. Thus, in the page that redirects us to give more importance is the image that will be placed “in context” with the page that is hosted blurred in the background. Finally, the company also announced a new advertising format called “Image Search Ads’ ads that only appear in the image search and that will” include a small image between lines of text. “
These changes will be implemented in all local versions of search “over the next few days.”
The reason they created this service in 2001, according to Nate Smith, product manager for Google Images, is because “we realized that for many searches the best response was not a text was an image or set of them” . At that time indexed “about 250 million images” that, by 2005, had become “more than one billion.” Moreover, as Smith says, not merely increase the number of images, but in the last ten years have worked in the service “to make it more quickly and easily find the right images.”
Also is proud of technology “similar images”, which is able to distinguish, for example, employers in the spots of a leopard to identify the images of a particular subspecies.
