A snippet of what's to come

Yikes...we have a ways to go UI-wise, but, heck, the new 'results' page is fant-abulous!
I put in 3 examples of me and I got back around 70 results...with only two mistakes. (my screenshot didn't cover the scrolling). And then I was told that the new, better version of recognition hadn't even been deployed!
Crazy.
Here are some examples where I only gave it one photo to train with:

And...just to let you know...I only have 14 photos of Ben in total...not bad. ;)

Good to know your company's product is improving, as some bloggers question your product effectives in recognizing photos these results will surely help. May be you should always give some background information on pictures like is it from a digital camera , make of the camera etc..
Good Luck
Two things:
1) This is very cool, but *admittedly*, I can't really get excited unless you go to where my photos are, and that's Flickr. Any plans to integrate? I'd prob pay for you to autotag my Flickr photos, but less likely to pay to have you host photos.
2) Will all my friends come out as good looking as these people if I use Riya? Otherwise, I'm not sure if I want their ugly mugs all spread out across the screen like that.
Hmm, and in response to Charlie's comment, if someone did find a way to use Riya to search Flickr would we have to call that mashup "Flickya"?
