Face book is allegedly on the move again and may be purchasing Face.com now for a speculated $100M. Facebook has recently made headline news with the IPO launch and the acquisition of the niche camera app Instagram. Face.com is all about facial recognition and it is quite obvious why Zuckerburg may be interested in them. Pictures on Facebook are a huge part of the social networking giants success and anything they can do to improve that will put more money in there pockets. If this happens Facebook will greatly improve there facial recognition on the mobile side and will have completed its second buy out of a company. I use Facebook quite heavily but do not upload many pictures and the ones I do are not tagged, but I can see this being a huge advantage to some users who do tag there photos.
