I know a lot of people who will be shocked by the announcement that Face.com will be closing their API. If anything, it was amazingly easy to hack a project together with face.com, not to mention it's academic state-of-the-art recognition. We've been working on this alternative internally for some time. While it's still a private beta, we hope one day to provide the same level of service that Face.com did.

Open Source it otherwise I would believe you would just sell yourself to Google or Apple too.

  To be perfectly honest, I sometimes wonder if the end goal of these acquisitions is to simply to acquihire all remaining talent in this space: PittPat (Google), polar rose (Apple), face.com (Facebook), etc.

  Gah, not every product on the planet needs to be open source.

Great timing, I just came here to see if anyone would be able to suggest alternatives. My app Trollaroid is currently using the individual feature coordinates from the Face.com API (most importantly the sides of the mouth), does your service include this?
