Google's new image search service! by Barbora Misakova

I remember well my first experience with Internet. I was about 16-year-old and I was desperately in love with one Australian rock band. My first attempt of surfing on the net last for hours and all that time I was browsing through the internet looking for some promo pictures of this band. My main man and assistant was Google’s image search service. That day I downloaded hundreds of pictures and I remember it well how much I loved Google. After almost ten years of its launch Google announces its image search service needs some makeover. In the time of its debut (in 2001) this image search had “only” 250 million of images indexed. Today there are more than 1! 0 billion of images available on Google search and this service delivers over a billion page views a day. With such popularity it is the high time for a change. The company wants to upgrade the service with both a redesign of the service’s look and also technical enhancements. The new changes will reportedly help user to find the precise image he is looking for. As Google Images Product Manager, Nate Smith said: “We not only find images for pretty much anything you type in, we can also instantly pull out images of clip art, line drawing, faces and even colors.” That can be very handy, especially for those ones working with images all the time. This redesigned image search service is currently only available at 10 percent of Google’s users, but company plans to put out the new service in stages over the news few weeks.
