Finding Images with Yahoo! Search

Yahoo has introduced new filters in its image search to help find Creative Commons-licensed images, although the term Creative Commons is not used in the filter. Use Yahoo Image Search filters to refine results to show only images that "User allows reuse."  You can limit to Commercial Use or to images licensed for "Remix, tweak, build upon." To find out about Creative Commons, you must click the Learn More link which takes you to the Creative Commons site.

What it says about you:

New Tools

Life Magazine Photo Archive
2 million photos from Life Photo library from 1750s on. The goal is to add 10 million of Life's photos. Search from the start page or you can include source:life with any Google Image search query. Great for History Day, among other things.

EtherPad
"The perfect way to collaborate on a text document and keep everyone literally on the same page." Doesn't Google Docs already do this? Their answer:

No. Google Docs is a suite of products that do many things, from word processing to spreadsheets to document management. One thing that Google Docs does not do is real-time collaborative text editing. We think this is an important use case, so we built EtherPad with real-time collaboration as the focus.

Gmail Themes
Not exactly a productivity enhancer, but Gmail has added the ability to customize the look of your Gmail account.

Google SearchWiki
Tailor your Google search results. Learn more.



And a tool no more--Lively
