It’s been around since 2011. I think it was one of the earliest examples of “infinite zooming” tiled image websites. (See https://ghostarchive.org/archive/Igdyv )

Or an earlier example was Seadragon, which was acquired by Microsoft and renamed Deep Zoom

The mobile app used to have a feature where you could upload a selfie and it would search for a painting that looked like you. It did a really good job. Not sure if you can do that on the website.

Dearest downvoters, I can understand why you did it - the person I was replying to was talking about whether Google’s web app actually has that feature, whereas I misinterpreted them as talking about whether it technically could have that feature. Mea culpa.

Still, I think my reply does demonstrate - there is nothing technically stopping Google from adding this feature to the web version, if they felt sufficiently motivated to do so

I just went to Google products Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_products

There is lots of other cool stuff like a Santa Tracker: https://santatracker.google.com/

I initially went through google subdomain lists on github, but many of them just redirected to the main search engine.

With how many things Google has killed, its hard to remember how many are still alive.

And thanks for sharing Internet Places DB.
