FW: [arachne] Google Image Swirl

[geoff carver]

Although this seems kind of cool, I wonder if it might not turn out to be
yet another flash-in-the-pan gimmick:

Besides Picasa face recognition and the similar image function in Google
images, it is probably also related to
Jing Baluja 2008 (see
http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1367497.1367540 )
or some follow up:
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=8227931783024635354&hl=en&as_sdt=2000

My guess is, image-swirl works especially (or only) well for hubs, i.e.
very popular motives like Apples, Eiffel towers and Mona Lisas.

Best regards,
max.
