Google has been the major search engine for I think most of us when we surf the net. However, have you ever heard of Bing http://www.bing.com/ ? This is a newer search engine. I like it. I like it a lot. I think it is a product of MSN, but I'm not sure. It's definitely trying to give Google a run for their monopoly.
So, you know how you can use Google Images to search for pictures... well Bing has this same option however, it is way way better. Here's the link to a search I did for snowflake images: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=snowflakes&form=QBIR&qs=n#
Why is this better than Google's version? As you look through the image results and find one you like, the next page will show you how many versions of that picture are available (obviously from different websites.) When I say versions, I mean the same pic but you get to find the pic that is as big or as small as you want. Making an image bigger or smaller has to do with resolution size; like 500 by 500 or whatever. Sometimes when you copy and paste an image from the web and you try manipulate it yourself, like make it bigger or smaller, the image becomes distorted. The option of allowing you to pick what resolution size you need is a pretty awesome feature.
Check it out if you feel like it. I'm always looking for images. And I don't like manipulating them because it distorts the image usually.
Also, once you have selected and image that you are interested in, look to the left side of the computer screen.
