Picture in a haystack
That’s why startup world is exciting. First we had flickr who changed many things with the introduction of tags and tag-based folksonomy. Now we have another exciting startup - Riya, which claims to have solved the face recognition problem. This is one problem all the average digital camera users must have complained about and all serious geeks must have drank plenty of coffee discussing how to solve.
Alpha testing shows results are encouraging. I hope Munjal and his team will very soon provide API based access which can really open this technology for mass adoption. This is a platform opportunity not just a nice photo management. You just can’t imagine all the possible ways this technology can be used.
Good stuff. Once again this proves that you can innovate yourself ahead of a crowded space.
