Won't this kill off services such as TinEye? From what I gather, this feature pretty much is exactly the service they provide; it's not unreasonable to think Google can pull it off better with their resources.

not even close to a new feature. Google has had reverse image search for probably about a year now.

This is a fantastic feature, especially to discover in what place a photo has been taken etc.

Now you can get funny results when putting face pictures.

It's been around for a while.

If you click the camera icon in the search bar, you can enter an image URL instead of uploading one.

Wow, really? My rough guess was a day off of being dead on? I'm awesome.
