And once you've taken the photo, here is how to tag it

Riya: Really intelligent photo sharing?


A new photo-sharing service? Faugh. We're too jaded to get excited
about anything like that! But wait, what's this? Riya (formerly Ojos)
is a photo storage and sharing service that claims to be able to
automatically tag photos with face-recognition. Yes, that's right:
You no longer have to go through the 700 pictures of your first-born
and tag them each with his name. Not only can Riya recognize faces,
it can also read text and recognize other objects like, say, the
Eiffel Tower. Michael Arrington at TechCrunch got his foot in the
door of an alpha version of Riya and was very impressed. And if it
does all it claims it can do, I'll be impressed, too.
