Shameless plug here: http://search.labs.face.com http://search.labs.face.com - a site we developed for face.com lets you scan for faces all your Facebook photos and do some interesting searches on them, like "smiling child, female with glasses" etc.
- loceng 14y agoSo I'm guessing the whole face.com acquisition was to increase awareness of context of photos?
- panabee 14y agoyup, this is my guess. it's all about understanding users more deeply. hypertargeted ads. what's in a photo these days? location + time. along with captions and photo titles, FB can infer what you were doing, where you were doing it, and when. but many photos go untagged because it's a pain to tag everyone. face.com solves this problem, connecting a person to all the valuable ad data in each photo.
