Bing introduces visual search... not image search, but visual search that can be refined by various classifications (for cameras you can drill down into type, brand, megapixels, optical/digital zoom, what the camera is good for)

Firefox’s bookmark shortcuts are criminally underused. It just makes sense to me to hit CTRL-L (or CTRL-T and then CTRL-L if I want a new tab) and type “g chris lott” to ego surf or “flickrcc dancing monkeys” to search for Creative Commons licensed images on flickr, etc. Here’s a list of my current collection of bookmark shortcuts and the key words I use, some of which you might find useful

'Twitter may just be a collection of inane thoughts, but in aggregate that is a valuable thing. In aggregate, what you get is a direct view into consumer sentiment, political sentiment, any kind of sentiment. For companies trying to figure out what people are thinking about their brands, searching Twitter is a good place to start. To get a sense of what I’m talking about, try searching for “iPhone,” “Zune,” or “Volvo wagon”.'

BeholdTM is a search engine for high-quality Flickr images. It aims to answer your queries based on what is inside the images -- at the pixel level. It offers a completely new way to search for images, using techniques of computer vision. It is different to standard image search engines, such as Flickr or Google, because those search through images using only image tags and filenames.

Behold looks for high quality images, so you don't have to sift through hundreds of poorly taken pictures to find a good one. Behold uses both aesthetic and technical quality indicators to find some of the best images available online.
