Google Labs:Similar Images and Google News Timeline

Posted on 22. Apr, 2009 by Nikhil Sheth in Google

Google released two new labs projects today: Similar Images and Google News Timeline.

Similar Images, as the name implies, allows you to restrict image searches to pictures that are similar to a source picture, though, for now, it seems like only a select number of images feature the “similar images” link.

Google News Timeline presents a new interface for searching Google News. Google Labs already featured the ability to add timelines to your search results and Google News features some basic functions for restricting results to certain dates, but the News Timeline, as the name implies, focuses on news stories and represents a major step forward for this feature.

Google Labs has now also moved to its own Googlelabs.com domain and sports a new interface.
