Imsy (www.imsy.com) offers this same feature in a slightly different way. It lets you send the image as an attachment in iMessage

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 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 im…
Thanks for your advice. I will probably handle this issue in the next few updates.

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.
Thanks for your opinion. It will be handled better in the next few updates :)

#114This is a cute service but doesn't handle images that are 404 :( Perhaps it should test for 500 status before displaying?
I am trying to make the service more reliable. Thanks for your opinion :)

#115I thought this was pretty cool and so shared the link with my friend, who asked me - 'so whats the point?'. And then I was like http://notsure.jpg.to
I am also thinking about the possibilities of the service. Do you have any idea? :)

#117Cool idea. I immediately tried "boobs" and was not disappointed.

#118Cute. Needs a method to return the URL as a 301 redirect so it could be used as a placeholder image. This could be in the image filename. For example: http://kittens.jpg.to/301.jpg Another feature could be to return a random result for that image search. For example: http://ass.jpg.to/random.jpg
The random functionality in conjunction with an ability to specify crop size would make this my defacto placeholder site. Being able to choose what I want for my placeholder would be extremely useful. http://food.jpg.to/random300x500.jpg
If you like kittens, placekitten does that:

Just because the image is copyrighted doesn't mean you are violating copyright law by displaying it. It would be quite nice of you to display a link to the site that Google found the image on - but if this is a non-commercial site, you have a very good fair use claim. If you really wanted to be in the clear, you could change your image search default to show "images labeled for reuse." Either way, don't be cowed by copyright maximalists.
