Riya Photo Search

The Riya Photo Search tool is now accepting new users for it’s online beta test. Riya allows you to upload photos of people and then add “tags” to each picture – such as name, location and so on. You can then search for photos using Riya. The unique thing about Riya is that it uses face recognition – if you upload ten photos of someone called Bob, Riya will learn the features of the face and enable you to find other photos of Bob by using face recognition techniques on other photos in it’s database. Obviously you can control the privacy in terms of who can search for what. This tool looks to be a huge step forward in online photo archiving and searching. Sign up for free at http://www.riya.com
