Sprixi Helps You Find Relevant and Free Images

Lifehacker: "One of the frustrations of searching for anything on the internet, let alone images, is imprecise search results. If you've ever searched for something and found something completely different—usually because the file name or the associated keywords were strangely or inappropriately applied—then you know what we're talking about."

Sprixi sounds like an incredibly useful tool. If I'm trying to find online images for a project, I can frequently run into problems where I find images that don't at all relate. On the other hand, I would like to know if one could add keywords or phrases to images, instead of just removing the unhelpful ones. There might be things that people could think of that would help people find the images easier, that others might not have thought of before. Whew, that sentence didn't make a whole lot of sense. But in a nutshell, it's sometimes hard to give images generic keywords, because what one person sees in a photo, another individual may see something completely different.

This seems like an amazing program/site to uses when doing research and doing project that require images. It is cool how they images are rated by the users one the program/site I would have loved to have this program/site doing some projects. I some times have problems getting images so the next time I need images I will try this since i have never heard about this be for this article. And I hop that it works as well as it is described.
