I'm a little late in reporting this, since Riya opened to the public on the 25th, but I still thought I'd let you all know.

Riya is greatest thing since Flickr. It's a photo sharing site and search engine that uses face recognition technology, meaning it "auto tags" your pictures for you once you "train" it to do so.

Pretty awesome. It's new and still missing some features, but I'm sure they'll be coming.

A new photo sharing and search engine website, Riya.com, claims it works using face recognition technology. I haven't personally gotten into the photo sharing websites before, but I do find this one quite interesting.

Unlike other photo search site, it does "auto-tagging", meaning that once you or someone else uploads a photo and gives it certain tags, other photos recognized as being the same person or even text are automatically tagged the same.
