A Face Only a Google Could Love

Google has grabbed my attention twice this week, and It's only Wednesday. They earlier announced the new feature of street level views in Google Maps, and today Ars Technica talks about their new image search ability that lets you just search for images with faces in them. You can see the difference yourself by looking here and then here. The way that you can try this feature out for yourself is simply stick "&imgtype=face" on the end of the search URL. As Ars points out, this is likely a feature they've gained through their acquisition of Neven, which I've brought up in the past. This just goes to show the truly awesome things that are posisble with technology out there. I'm looking forward to the day that I can click a button to have my webcam take a picture of me, and then search the net for all photos with me in them. Well, all two of them, that is.
