I listened to the podcast and have a better idea of where they are heading. Although I still think that they would be much better off being bought out by flickr or selling their product as a standalone desktop product. Nevermind.

Is the flickr integration a sure thing? Without this I really don't understand why I uploaded 600+ photos to Riya and spent a couple of hours identifying faces in pictures. If it is an add on to flickr or somehow tags the actual pictures on my computer then I can see some value but right now it seems like I just wasted some time on a very limited photo sharing site.

Very good interview. Diego Even though it takes a bit for the software to “learn” who the people on the pictures are, I found the service very good and promising.

It took me a couple of days to send that many pictures to the website through the uploader that processes the pictures for faces before uploading it. I think this is service I'm going to keep using because of rumored flickr addons? I love Riya even though it takes a while to get the recognition process going for 2000+ pictures.

Very, very disappointing. Too bad Riya only has an uploader for Windows so far. Very, very disappointing.

I learned some things about Riya and the people behind it. I will be interested to find out what Riya has set has their upload goal (which they are half way to already).
