Riya

Photosharing and organisation is nothing new, the growth of sites and services like flickr and Picasa attest to the strength of the area. Similar service are also making their impact, but to stand above the established players in the field, any new service will need a strong and unique selling point.

Riya is one such service, with the potential to grab a piece of the market with a very unique selling point - it can find pictures using face recognition. Like most software of this kind, it needs some training first, telling it who people are in your photostream. It then learns and you can tweak it to remove false positives and errors. This will be a great feature if your a social snapper (as many are) and have hundreds of pictures of friends and family all over the place. Its in beta at present - so help them test the software out and give it a go.
