Back in May, we told you about Face.com’s Photo Finder, a facial recognition app for Facebook that aims to find tags for untagged photos floating about in your network.

Photo Finder has racked up some impressive stats since it launched, scanning over a billion faces and facilitating the tagging of over 400 million of those photos. (Point of reference for my fellow New Yorkers- that’s like tagging an entire rush hour 6 train full of people!) Here’s the stat breakdown, from Face.com’s blog:

13 Million photos scanned a day.
550 Thousand an hour.
9 Thousand a minute.
150 per second.

On average, a Photo Finder user uploads 300 pics and has around 10,000 in their network, 2/3s of which are untagged or partially tagged. Enter Photo Tagger. Photo Tagger was conceived to allow users to power-tag these untagged pics. It scans your albums or your friends’ albums, batches your peeps into groups and suggests tags for them. All you have to do is confirm the tags and the app pushes them out to Facebook.

Photo Tagger is currently in closed alpha, but it sounds like a handy little tool for making photo sharing more efficient. Check out the screencaps below to see the tagging process in action.

The driving force behind Face.com, a company based in Israel and New York, has been to develop the best in class facial recognition software. In keeping with this the company has just released a Facebook app called Photo Finder. The idea behind the app is to let you scan all the photos on you network in Facebook finding photos of yourself and your friends and then tag them.

During the closed alpha of a few thousand people Photo Finder was able to scan 400 million photos and identify over 700 thousand people/faces.

The app works by scanning the public photos in your Facebook networks and suggest tags for those that are either partially tagged or not tagged at all. Face.com says it is the fastest, most powerful and most accurate facial recognition app available making it the best way to find photos of yourself and your friends that you may not have known even existed.

Photo Finder starts by scanning photos you’ve uploaded and the photos on your friends’ profiles. It then detects the faces within each photo and searches Facebook for other photos containing the same people. Photo Finder does respect other users’ privacy settings and finds only pictures that are publicly available to you.

Thus far, Photo Finder has been in a closed private alpha with about 150 people testing it. Starting today, you can check it out for yourself by clicking here.

Face.com is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. It also has offices in New York City. The company is currently angel funded.
