CNET - May 18 - FindFace, a facial recognition service in Russia, lets people photograph strangers and identify them on Vkontakte. The app claims to have a 70% success rate when it comes to identifying people. FindFace markets itself as a dating service, but its founders hope to make money from licensing its algorithm to law enforcement and retail companies. People can download the app, and when they spot someone they're interested in, they can take a photo and upload it to the app to find the person's Vkontakte profile.
