[How To] do Reverse Google Image Search on Your Mobile Phone

The Reverse Google Image Search option is the best way to discover related images on web. It works very well on desktop but, Google has not made available this option for mobile phones. As approx 23% of Google searches have been done on mobile phones, Google should made Reverse Google Image Search option available on mobile phones too.
But, happiness is here as a well known Indian professional blogger Amit Agarwal (Labnol) has added a web app in his project library website. This tool helps you to access the Reverse Google Image Search on mobile phones and tablets too.

Steps to use it:

1.  For use it, you just have to head over to ctrlq.org/google/images on your mobile phone.
2. Click the “Select Image” button and choose an image from the photo gallery of your phone.
3. Next click “Search” and it will upload your photo to Google Images much like the desktop version.

How it works?

It uses the standard HTML5 File System APIs. Internally, it takes your image file, converts it to Base64 (data URI) and submit the encoded image as HTTP POST request to Google Image. The browser then automatically redirects to the search page.

Compatibility

He has tested the search app on Chrome for Android and Safari for iPad but it should work on most other devices since it uses the standard HTML5 File System APIs. So, every browser which supports HTML5 will be able to run this web app.

[How To] See If Your Emails Are Being Tracked

You might not realize it, but there are now email-tracking tools that make it easy for people to see when you open an email, what you click, and where you're located.

"Emails appear no different to your contacts, but you get data when, where, and how a contact interacts with your message," says a cheery video advertising Bananatag, an email-tracking service for Gmail designed for job seekers, advertisers, and those working in public relations. 

In response, a handy new tool called Ugly Email shows you when your emails in Gmail are being tracked, and it starts working before you click anything. 


When Ugly Email is installed, a tiny little eye symbol appears next to any email in an inbox that is being tracked by tools like Bananatag, Streak, or Yesware. 

Installing Ugly Email is easy. First, you'll need to make sure you're using Google Chrome as your web browser. 

Next, click this link to take you to Ugly Email on the Chrome Web Store, click the "Add to Chrome" button, and you're all set. 

Any email arriving in your Gmail inbox will then be vetted for tracking tools, and the Ugly Email team promises that it is "actively working on adding more" email-tracking services to its list. 

Ugly Email just showed up on Product Hunt, so if you're looking for a similar email-alert service that has been around for a while longer, you can always try out PixelBlock, which does the same thing.
