Riya Takes Photos to a New Level

In the realm of "that's pretty cool stuff," the online service Riya offers some outstanding capabilities with digital photos. Josh Bancroft, on his blog TinyScreenfuls.com, comments on his recent experience with Riya. He states:

"But of the hundreds of faces it’s already isolated, I’ve been playing around with the identification training, telling Riya who the faces are, and I have to say, this is some pretty freaking cool stuff."

Through the service's amazing facial recogntion technology, you can search on a person's name and the service will locate photos of  anyone with that person's name. The flip side is you can see photos of yourself that other people have uploaded.

I wonder how long before this technology is optimized for mobile use. Watch out Osama!
