Photo Finder: il servizio di Face.com ha fatto centro

Spread the love

Secondo voi quante foto ci sono su Facebook? 2 milioni? 3 milioni? Se pensate in questi termini non ci siamo proprio, il solo numero degli iscritti al social network è di 200 milioni, quindi viaggiamo su cifre più alte. Un miliardo? Nemmeno, troppo poco. Per l’esattezza sono la bellezza di 10 miliardi di immagini. Stupefacente vero? Tant’è che Facebook sta diventanto uno dei più grandi siti di condivisione di foto sul web. Una applicazione che sta andando molto di moda in questi ultimi mesi è Photo Finder, un servizio messo a disposizione dal sito Face.com, che permette di trovare un conoscente, amico o parente, attraverso il riconoscimento facciale. Se non si ricorda il nome di qualcuno, basta caricare una sua foto e il programma in poco tempo riesce a localizzarlo sul social network. Il programma è piaciuto talmente tanto, che per migliorare le ricerche, è stata effettuata la scansione di oltre 400 milioni di foto.

Forse ci siete pure voi! Per controllare non vi servirà altro che provare il servizio. Le foto inglobate ed esaminate sono di diversi tipi, possono essere quelle singole, quella del profilo o ancora interi album. Il successo dell’azienda è stato quello di applicare una tecnologia molto interessante ad uno dei social network più in voga del momento, ed è ad esso che si è dedicata maggiormente. Magari un giorno potrebbe esplorare nuovi orizzonti in cerca di nuove piattaforme sociali come: twitter, myspace, netlog, ecc, ma dal nome: Face.com, si capisce chiaramente che rimarrà un servizio fidato di Facebook.

Servizio molto interessante, fino ad un certo punto. Difatti quali permessi ha Face.com di effettuare queste ricerche e visualizzare nostre foto presenti su Facebook? Nessuno ha chiesto un esplicito consenso agli utenti del social network, di essere presenti su tale servizio e nemmeno che le proprie immagini private fossero mostrate in tale modo. Avrà il servizio fatto riferimento ad una delle clausole dei termini di servizio che non abbiamo letto, ma solo accettato?

  2. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

  10. Hi there would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a reasonable price? Cheers, I appreciate it!

  11. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  12. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
