Innovation Tool- Google Image Ripper

22 March 2007

This is pretty simple but at the same time quite stimulating.   I ran across this app that looks to be a front-end for images.google.com.   It is called the “Google Image Ripper“.

I am not sure of the original motivation for building it but I find it fabulous for random association generation.  For example search for a word that you think you have an idea of what a search would return.  Here are some simple exaples.

I don’t know about you, but you see some of what you expect,  but ever 4-5 images you get something that doesn’t make sense at first glance.  Why is that here?  Where is article for the image?   What story can I tell about the image?  What does the image tell me?

Next time you need a new direction or perspective, give it a try.   This also works with Flickr or some of the other photo sites,  but I really like this clean interface.
