I recently came across Riya, a new online photo service.

Basically this is a service where you upload your pictures and identify people in the pictures. The system will then also be able to identify the same people on other pictures. Sounds like something Flickr should be adding.

The part that I am not so sure about here is the privacy. Making all of this information publicly available is certainly a concern - just think about all the places that would love to license and have access to this information in order to identify people.

I have recently started a new blog, which I would still consider in Beta Status. You will see fewer posts on domain name related issues here, since those are being moved to the "Domain Editorial", which is located at http://www.domaineditorial.com/ .
