Picasa Face Recognition is addicting!

Tweet

I downloaded Picasa 3 for my laptop after we reformatted it. It scanned my external drive which has 1000s of pictures and I was surprised to learn it has Face recognition now. I don't think the old version had this. So it's scanning through my 1000s of pics looking for faces and asking me to name the people. As I name them, it slowly starts to "guess" who people are. I can confirm if it guessed right, or put it under another name if it was wrong. It's funny when it is wrong and it says 2 people look alike when in my mind they look nothing alike. It mixes up my daughter and my nephew all the time, but never mixes up me and my sister even though people say we look alike. Last night I was up past midnight putting names to faces. Lol, it is just so darn addicting! I have quick links for every person now and I can see all the photos of that person in one view. I'm up to 2000 pictures of my baby girl and still 1000s to go through! The funny thing is, I ultimately plan to burn all these photos on CD and delete them from the external drive (which is getting full) so I'm kind of wasting my time doing this face recognition. But it's just so fun! Amazing to see all the pictures of a person over time, as well as how many pics I have. Do you have picasa or any other software that does face recognition? I'd ultimately like to store photos online. Is there any online website that does this face recognition?
