Man. I saw the home page, and I was all ready to hate on this post ("cute space"? "pimp my profile"?), but then I tried it. And it's actually pretty amazing.
I figured I'd have to help it find the face in the photo, and that it would look like shit anyway, but I didn't, and I don't. Time to send dumb/silly emails to my friends! posted by greenie2600 at 9:05 PM on November 2, 2008
Doesn't work with cats. Booooo. posted by greenie2600 at 9:12 PM on November 2, 2008
Okay, some of them are amazing. The first one I tried was the tattoo on the guy's stomach, and that turned out really well. A lot of the others are lame. posted by greenie2600 at 9:13 PM on November 2, 2008
Occassionally lame, often disturbing, but truly remarkable in some cases. posted by blue_beetle at 9:15 PM on November 2, 2008
Cats? No. This is an effort to harvest every face in America, ne the world, for the (new) KGB archives. That clicking sound you keep hearing on your phone? The NSA knows all about you Russian Mafia sympathizers. posted by netbros at 9:17 PM on November 2, 2008 [1 favorite has favorites]

Hey, moonbiter, your photo's been 404ed. Mine too. I guess they don't hang around those URLs for too long... posted by flapjax at midnite at 1:05 AM on November 3, 2008
I'd like to point to the remarkable music videos made my Chris Cunningham for Aphex Twin, way before this sort of face technology was available. To wit,
