Anybody hear of yet? It’s a Flickr kind of thing, but they have some sort of technology that allows for face recognition. In other words, it comes to recognize the people who you usually take photos of, and then it tags those photos appropriately for you. This sounds really cool, but I can’t help but get all conspiracy theorish and wonder how victims of stalkers (or relatively healthy, paranoid people) might feel about this. It’s just one step closer to something we haven’t yet figured out.
