Co-founders and siblings Vineet, Monica, and Anuj Agarwal has released his real-time image search engine to the public: NachoFoto. It was released yesterday and provides search results of images in real-time, similar to Google News articles and Twitter results. NachoFoto is a great resource, especially when it comes to image searches related to living persons or current events. NachoFoto searches for the terms “Masters” or “Paris Hilton” bring up images that have been uploaded online as little as a few hours previously.
This is what the NachoFoto website has to say about its founding:
NachoFoto was founded in early 2007 by Vineet, Monica, and Anuj Agarwal.
Nachofoto is a privately funded startup with offices in Mill Valley,CA and Mumbai,India. Our goal is to solve one of the biggest problem of image search – how to show ‘relevant’ images of Trending Topics and Rising Search Terms in RealTime.
People use Nachofoto to search latest images on topics that have been widely discussed lately.
NachoFoto also provides a whitepaper on their site entitled ‘The Nuts and Bolts of Real-Time Image Search’.
Users who have current event, photography, or celebrity sites can submit their site for crawling by NachoFoto here. This is definitely a great resource– especially for social media users, journalists, and others who need the most recent photographs available online.
