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.
