Face recognition comes to Flickr. Without any big fuss, a face-recognition feature has been added to Flickr.
The new feature was launched recently by Swedish start-up Polar Rose . It lets users import all their photos from a Flickr account to an account on Polar Rose, where the images are then automatically assembled into groups dedicated to various individuals. As with similar features in Google Picasa and Apple iPhoto , names eventually show up next to faces in the photos once the user has identified the faces. My Heritage Celebrity Collage.
