Cool. It may be true that Face.com's API is theirs, and they can do what they'd like with it - however, it's a little disconcerting to see a company say on one hand "We love our API developers and we intend to support you in the future" to shutting down their API with haste. I've already told my friends who relied on Face.com about this service, it's great to see someone saving startups the hassle of reimplementing functionality that will be complex and costly to solve in a fast-paced environment. I hope more services like this one proliferate in the future!
