Mega search-engine Google.com maintains a searchable image database of publicly indexed images that Google's robots find on the internet. You can search this database of Google'd images at http://images.google.com.
Berylium allows you to use results from a Google Images search as a sort of shorthand for linking to another webpage via an image. This is sometimes known a visual-blogging or just vblogging.
