Fun And Games With Google Images

New Zealand digital designer Grant Robinson has created two incredibly fun applications that utilize Google Images. One is an addicting game called Guess-the-Google and the other is a photo montage creator called Montage-a-Google. A lot of these types of programs are rudimentary at best, but Robinson has produced two beautifully clean and efficient applications. Google Images Search to include these images in the search results pages?

Montage-a-Google This application uses Google's image search to generate a large gridded montage of images based on keywords you enter. It's not only an interesting way of browsing the net, it can also be used to create desktop pictures or even posters. The example below is a partial shot of a montage I made with the keywords Britney Spears. She's not that interesting to me, but as I pointed out in SafeSearch Filtering options is used, and another to select every nth image or perhaps 20 random images from the first n images. Of course using more than 20 images would be great as well, but that might present some sort of technical difficulty I'm not aware of. Note that this requires version 7 of the Flash player or higher to run. Mark Fleming is the founder of a new blog called Google Tutor & Advisor
