Facial recognition for the cell phone camera

This looks like an interesting and user friendly application of facial recognition software. Who says law enforcement should have all the fun?

Gizmodo tells us about it and has a Youtube embed to view it in action. Link.

In theory the application will allow the user to snap a cell phone photo of someone then see where that face shows up in social media sites. (Perhaps that's another reason not to post one's photo in a social media site, but that's an individual preference.)

I'm still holding out for an application like this in my eyeglasses so I would never again forget a face.
