Interesting that, because I came across a similar thing earlier this week, which also links to the sites where the images are from:
http://www.jwz.org/webcollage/collage.html
(I'm not sure where they're getting their images from though...)
I found the site in my IIS logs as a referral, so it must have contained images from my site at some time. If you leave it for 60 seconds, it reloads. (Reloading in between doesn't appear to change the image, which makes me think it's not doing it on the fly like yours is.) |
Update: Having visited the directory above where this page was at, the author says:
"It finds the images by feeding random words into various search engines, and pulling images (or sections of images) out of the pages returned."
http://www.jwz.org/webcollage/ > Explain
So it sounds like it's doing some screen-scraping rather than using APIs...

Do you share the source code to any of your projects?
Thanks, Chris |
Chris, actually the PHP stayed pretty much the same as the one I linked to from the post – it's very small. I use some workarounds to correct what seems to be a buggy PHP/libxml2 implementation, or something similar, by creating a PHP4 wrapper. Here's the code to the PHP5: http://blogoscoped.com/yahoo/index.txt |
Thanks Philipp. Great work with the random videos as well.
