The idea behind TinEye is not new, but ever since a service like this has been really expensive to private users. TinEye creates a 'fingerprint' of an image and searches the currently about 5 million images in their database in order to find an image that matches your source.
TinEye even goes a step further by being able to find partial matches, so if an image of yours is slighty edited, but still recognizable, TinEye will find it. The company even offers a Firefox-plugin for an easier and faster image search right in your browser.
