API - Face recognition across the Web

A very interesting yet useful API launched by Face.com is making rounds and expanding across the web quickly. "CelebrityFindr, Tagger Widget and Poster Yourself" already uses Face.com technology.

Developers can now tap into Face.com’s technology to add facial recognition to all kinds of web apps for free via the open API.

Well i m trying it out in one of our web app so will post review. Face.com claims that its technology can identify faces even in poor lighting or poor focus; or when subjects are wearing glasses, facial hair, and supposedly even Halloween costumes.

The company’s technology was recently used in an impressive social Augmented Reality app.

I couldn't find any other free API for facial recognition which is so powerful.
