retrievr

In a panel discussion at CAA someone mentioned this project called retievr that sounded interesting. So, I checked it out yesterday and found it to be (though not quite perfect) very cool. Using a simple drawing tool on the retrievr web page, you draw a simple image. Retievr then searches though the archives of flickr and finds images that roughly match your drawings. You can also search according to an image that you upload or link to. Not only is that just sweet in and of itself, I can imagine it actually being useful as well.
