As for image recognition, the current techniques are still in the 'blue sky research' zone. However in some situations they may already be useful. We have been working for a few months on a prototype web image search engine called <a href="http://go.beholdsearch.com/searchc.jsp" rel="nofollow">Behold</a> which assigns likely keywords to images based entirely on image content. This is done using statistical techniques. When this is combined with regular metadata search results often improve. There are some example queries on the website.

Except the reason no else is doing this is because it is a blatant copyright violation, not to mention dishonest to the website where the image was found (since they get no traffic, yet still pay for the image bandwidth). On top of that, since Snap pre-loads all the images, that means third party sites get dinged for bandwidth even if their image never gets viewed! This is outright bandwidth theft coupled with countless copyright violations. If you are a webmaster who has ever dealt with annoying people hot-linking your images, you know how much this sucks. Lame. Great.

There is no question that the interface of Google and Yahoo images is annoying to users, requiring an extra click and a costly page load. Perhaps someone with legal experience can elucidate how cases like Google v. Perfect10 have shaped these interface decisions.
