DISQUS

Hi Arnold - Although slightly late, I'd like to thank you for mentioning MyHeritage in the list. We're privileged to be a part of it.

Hi Arnold,

Great write-up. Some of the ones you mentioned are my favorite social networks. Arnold, just a small thought of adding to the above list you forgot to mention popular family social network MyHeritage.com :)

I thought I should mention it to you Arnold !

Great blog-post otherwise.

Hi Craig,

Actually apart from initiatives by Google and BetaFace there is lot of development that has taken place in this space. While there's a lot of buzz about Picasa's face-recognition going on, I'd also like to share with you the face-recognition capabilities of 'Family Social Networking' site MyHeritage.

It is kinda cool in the sense that all the photos of the family members are online and they fully integrate with the family tree. Apart from that, the beauty is that it works with several world-wide language.

Craig, I'd request you or perhaps Sid to take a look at 'face-recognition' by MyHeritage sometime and let us know your thoughts about it.

Would be glad to hear your thoughts about it !

Hi Dean,

Some of the concepts that you've talked about are 'amazing'. Semantic search is an evolving concept and I think it will slowly and slowly become a part of every-day surfer's lives.

I just wanted to add on to a point that you've mentioned. It is about the face-recognition feature in 6th point. Dean, I'm not sure whether you've been able to take a look but there's a stronger 'face-recognition' technology introduced by MyHeritage.

It is kind of interesting in the sense that it hooks on with your family members and it makes it quite easy for you to tag all the family members present in your network. More importantly, it is being offered in several languages worldwide.

I'd be glad if you could share your experience about the new feature from MyHeritage.
