Image Atlas
I just discovered a new website. "Image Atlas investigates cultural differences and similarities by indexing top image results for given search terms across local engines throughout the world. Visitors can refine or expand their comparisons from the 57 countries currently available, and sort by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or alphabetical order."
When first entering the website it can be a little confusing. You are presented with a mostly black screen. On the upper left there is a text box for you to enter you search criteria, the search button and and some clickable text that will allow you to choose the countries you would like included in your search. On the upper right hand side of the screen you have two radio button selections for alphabetical and GDP. This will return your search results in either order. Have fun, play around and see what similarities and differences you encounter.
