Riya
October 27th, 2005Whoa! TechCrunch has the word (Michael Arrington is the best reporter of new online social tools) on Rija (it’d in pre-alpha – you’ll snicker if you were part of the communities and collaboration track at Internet Librarian), an automatic face recognition photo service helps people gain more perspective about these shots, especially those that are “cataloged” badly. From the Rija site:
“These photos are your stories, your moments and your experiences.The Riya vision is to make it easier for people to tell their stories with their pictures. Our photo search helps you do this. Riya is more than photo search. Our goal is to help you find every photo of yourself on the web. We want to help you recover every moment, every place you’ve been and all of the people you’ve met along the way. We want to give you the tools to discover your future, every place you want to go and meet new friends. We will be successful when we can find every digital photo in the world.”
