Snap Image Search: Useful Tool for Designers & Bloggers I do however love using Snaps Image Search to look for specific images. The image browsing functionality is superior to the major search engines because it allows for very efficient and fast browsing through the mouse scroll wheel. You can even choose to filter your search by viewing only black and white images. Very cool. The only drawback (or some would say advantage) is the low volume of image results.

For example, an image search for monkey on Snap gives you around 400,000 results while a similar search on Google gives you 3.4 million pictures. Snaps Image Search tool will probably be very useful for bloggers or web designers who need to find that specific image to complement their template design or blog post.

I was pretty upset when I found that the submission form is now, not available anymore. But my bad feeling instantly gone when I found this Anne Ahira blog actually already indexed by Snap. I am Teddy Siswanto, a student of Anne Ahira.

1. A true weblog is a log of all the URLs you want to save or share. (So del.icio.us is actually better for blogging than blogger.com.)
2. You can certainly include links to your original thoughts, posted elsewhere but if you have more original posts than links, you probably need to learn some humility.
3. If you spend a little time searching before you post, you can probably find your idea well articulated elsewhere already.
4. Being truly yourself is always hipper than suppressing a link just because it’s not trendy enough. Your readers need to get to know you.
5. You can always improve on the author’s own page title, when describing a link. (At least make sure your description is full enough that readers will recognize any pages they’ve already visited, without having to visit them again.)
6. Always include some adjective describing your own reaction to the linked page (great, useful, imaginative, clever, etc.)
7. Credit the source that led you to it, so your readers have the option of “moving upstream.”
8. Warn about “gotchas” — weird formatting, multipage stories, extra-long files, etc. Don’t camouflage the main link among unneeded (or poorly labeled) auxiliary links.
9. Pick some favorite authors or celebrities and create a Google News feed that tracks new mentions of them, so other fans can follow them via your weblog.
10. Re-post your favorite links from time to time, for people who missed them the first time.

This ten tips was quoted from its original writer Jorn Barger here. I hope this is useful to all Anne Ahira mania.
