image matching service

Now i'm slightly annoyed... another of my ideas released live before me :(
tineye image search engine (similar solution to what i had in mind, oh well, good for them... i think it's a great idea).
Here's a concept sketch I did last year but even a few years back I had created a prototype process of matching image retrieval.. contacted potential developers, tested tons of apps.
1. Search
1.1. Image upload (file text field)
1.2. Image upload (button)
1.2.1. * Process of matching image retrieval
1.2.1.1. Search results
1.2.1.2. Web URLs and image thumbnails (user clicks on thumbnails or links to see where the similar image can be found)
...
p.s. With a little funding I could make that work still.... tineye need some competition, perhaps later in the year if I'm free.
