Hi everyone,

This is a startup I have been working on with two friends. We're all UC Berkeley 2008 graduates. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I had a chance to use this app as an early beta and have been thoroughly pleased. It is now my method of choice for tagging albums.

Does this do the actual face recognition and assign a tag automatically?

We're currently working on face recognition. Facebook's existing tags are a great training set :) In the meantime, the application detects faces and gives you a much more efficient (and pretty!) interface for tagging since the faces are known.
