Thanks for your insights. the Riya team has blown through money before...dig a little Before you say it is a Billion Dollar market, ask yourself which existing $B are they going after and why is searching like images important? This is the classic problem of a "kewl technology" looking for a market. Bay Partner and Peter Rip may be squandering their LP's money on this. Best Regards, Dan Hey Matt, great article.

This is the classic problem of a “kewl technology” looking for a market.

Bay Partner and Peter Rip may be squandering their LP’s money on this.

Because photos transcend language, Riya may have 1 Billion pictures before the end of the year. Great article! :O) I hope plenty of redundancy is built into that $15 million injection.

I just blogged about your article, but for some reason the trackback is giving me an error. "HTTP error: 403 Throttled" My other trackbacks are working, so you might want to check out your server logs, fyi. Hey Matt – Fantastic post.

May be google may implement this in its image search in near future. The face recognition technology is a cool feature offered by riya which google image search lacks.
