Riya, the photosearch engine, went beta today. However, the current sign up page – http://www.riya.com/register does not really let you sign up. You'd think that registration for the beta version is not open for everybody. Actually, it is. You just need the right link – http://www.riya.com/groundTruth
I've just downloaded Riya uploader. I'll upload some pics and check out its features tonight.
They haven't made any huge claims in the intial description of their product. This is what they have to say about their face recognition technology –
Munjal likes to tell people that the technology behind the face recognition at Riya.com is at the same level as his son, Deven, a two-year old. With your feedback and many hours of research and development, our goal is to bring the recognition up to superhuman…but that's a little way off.
Update: Anshul just pointed out that the sign up page of Riya is working now – http://www.riya.com/register
