This is really cool:

Watch the video.
You can upload or use any image on the web to search for similar images.
This works great for me as I browse through artwork a lot and sometimes the artist isn't credited or named. I just installed the add on for Firefox and now anytime I find an image that I don't know the origins of or would like to track down who the artist or maybe photographer is, I can right click on it and the the TinEye add on will search for me. So far it's worked great.
The website requires registration which is an email address and password. Don't have to give name, etc.

I'm sure it will also be used to catch people using copyrighted images and face identity for unknown people. Still cool though and useful for me!
