This might be useful for some of you pro photogs, if you have time to spare to search?

At a fair stab in the dark guess it would be possible to write some form of scripting too to do automated upload and searching, unless they're doing something very strange with the site and the way it presents its data.

That looks fantastic, will have a fiddle with that later cos I know a couple of my things have been nabbed for myspace backgrounds and such...

Very very clever stuff, not being a photographer i do like being able to find out who photos were originally taken by :) It just needs investment and needs to be scaled. Surprised google haven't swallowed it up yet actually, seems right down their street!
