As 'cute' as this is please find a different API to use or at least find a way to attribute where you are _stealing_ the images from and ensure that the owners of the images are happy with you using the images. Just because an image is on the internet does not mean you can reproduce it. I ran a couple of words I knew return copyrighted images and sure enough they come up.

Very true. I planned to introduce a page for every image to attribute the source in the near future. And I would delete them upon the owner's request. (just like youtube video)

I'm going to be "that" guy this time and tell you that the IMG-element is a single tag, and should be used without a " " at the end :) Other than that, I'm liking this and looking forward to the extra parameters.

Thanks for reminding and I have corrected the tag immediately:)

If you are not going to validate that you have the rights to display the image the minimum thing you can do is add attribution to every page the image is displayed. Not a separate page.

http://meme.jpg.to/(I don't have any idea what this meme is.) Also, I want to see the source code. I think it uses the I'm Feeling Lucky page of Google Image API, but I'm a noob, so it would be nice if I could have an idea of how you made that site.

Basically, the idea is to take the subdomain of the url as keyword and search it through Google's image search api and return the 1st result.

If it linked to the source of the image, wouldn't it just be a minimalist search engine? Surely google doesn't individually license every image that shows up in image search.

I don't know what you think the site is doing but that is exactly what it is. It didn't curate the images, people didn't upload the images. It searched for an image that matched your word. No google didn't licence the image, but it only displays small thumbnails with a link to where it found the image. This is displaying the full size image with no link to where it found the image.

I'm sorry but this is not good enough. You should try to do better than "what Youtube does".

Delete upon owner request (a la DMCA) is a legal maneuver. You should be able to parse out if an image is licensed as Creative Commons or public domain and show only those pictures. Else assume all rights reserved.

Not to pick on your project but it's time that people try to do better than take the easiest path of show all images (without attribution) because it was the most convenient thing to do.

(If you are going to do the delete on owner request thing, at least consider providing an immediate link to delete without 1) have to mail a paper request in, 2) having to sign in or 3) some other onerous route to delete)
