Impressive! |

You say its a mix of Sets and Image search – is the programming actually based around what Google have done? (Kind of like through APIs)
I have yet to try it out, but its looking promising. |

Awesome! |
Philipp Lenssen | 17 years ago # |
Absolutely Mambo, the script is first screenscraping Google Sets, and then it's screenscraping Google Images (once per term found in the set, which is why this takes some seconds). If anyone is interested in the (small PHP5) script let me know... |

query [opera] gives an interesting SERP. First, there are no musical forms associated – only browsers. And second, it's interesting to see which ones are depicted by something about that browser (e.g. KMeleon), and which ones are depicted by something else with the same name (e.g. lynx:). |

<<query [opera] gives an interesting SERP>> Love what it comes up with for the picture for Internet Explorer on this search! Not quite sure what it's doing when you search for Firefox though |

Philipp, just an idea...do you think this script could work with Google Videos? |

Awesome. |

It is very clever, I like it. |

Great fun, but often quite weird.
A search for "Eiffel" (a programming language) gives a good range of other programming languages, but the images are often unrelated to programming: an attractive woman for "Ada", a bomber about to crash for "C", etc.
Actually, maybe the image is appropriate for "C" after all! |

Philipp, I am very interested to test the script for my french website. Do you think you could send it to me? Thank you.

OK, here's the source: http://blogoscoped.com/related/source.zip |

Philipp i would really like it if the pic of the first word(s) (the query, the set itself i mean) is being shown in pictures, too.. would be useful for saving the page or similar.. gr8 concept btw.. |

That is a brilliant script. I love it. Is there a page with all the Blogoscoped Blog bonus items on?
Like this, and letters etc.

Fabulous! Thanks very much Philipp for the script! Please let me know of you want to see the temporary result on my website.
See ya.

Really cool stuff. |

FYI: Superman returns an image that is NSFW (Supergirl wearing not too much ...) |

This one is a start, but this stuff tends to get outdated quickly due to changes to external pages (when screenscraping) or my host's scripting and security framework (for example, a change in my server's handling of loading external URLs broke dozens of scripts once): http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2005-01-29-n34.html |
Philipp Lenssen | 17 years ago # |
Alek, I added "potentially NSFW" to the list as a warning... |
Philipp Lenssen | 17 years ago # |
Update: Changed the script a bit for better namespace (a class wrapper). |
Sam Davyson | 17 years ago # |
A lot of those tools I had missed, thanks for that link.
BTW, on the video page, it says in the footer "Google Images". |
Mambo | 17 years ago # |
I wonder if Google will "buy" you, Phillip? :) I bet they're scared that your service will take off.
Has anyone made a Digg article yet? |

Hmmm... this may just be a little bit too clever.. a search for 'Tony Blair' returns as one hit a book cover of something called 'An unnatural wife'. |

Sounds like FlickrStorm (http://www.zoo-m.com/flickr-storm/) to me. |

Outstanding! This would make a really good tool for people learning English. If you put in the name of an object which is obviously part of a set, such as 'saucer', it shows pictures of :-
Dinner Plate Cup Salad Plate Soup/Cereal Bowl Mug Coffee Mug Salad/Dessert Plate Soup or Pasta Bowl Bread And Butter Plate Soup/Cereal Bowl Platter
Seeing them as pictures, together with their English names would really help with learning vocab. I just wish there was a version for learning Spanish. |

What a great gizmo. I spent ages on it last night.
Have you thought about making the words under each picture a hyperlink to submit another query? That way people could browse all over the place from dog to cat to lion to africa, etc.
It turns up some pretty amusing stuff too. A search for 'Realtor' (noted for taking your money and doing not very much) turned up a picture of 'An imperforate or incomplete anus' . Tee Hee. |

Some interesting suggestios here. I'll keep thinking about how to optimize the tool. |
