Often, I won't neccesarily look at every picture posted. And I'm sure most people don't look at all of mine. A picture is more likely to get looked at if it has notes. However, if every picture with people has notes in it, then after a while, the "this picture has x notes" in it becomes meaningless, and actual meaningful notes become lost, and I think they might actually get viewed less. So I've decided not to use it(except maybe for an occasional group shot). At least based on my personal viewing behavior. I realize its still in beta, and I realize it needs a database of faces to do the recognition, I would find it much more useful of you could select an individual picture, vs doing it on a face by face basis. Partial retraction of my above comment: I guess you can use it to tag without adding a note(I forgot about that). This may be useful for alot of people, unfortunately it doesn't help me much, since I do all my tagging before uploading. I tried Tag4You, but I’m kind of ambivalent about it.

They are going for an automatic facial recognition (after training it by manually selecting who they are, of course). They bumped me to the top of the beta testing list, so hopefully ina couple weeks I'll start to see something promising coming out of that site. Right now it's just a beta shell -- but it does currently recognize faces, lets you pick people (from existing tags), and then makes a note around their face -- good for group shots.
