Effortless Socializing
The Viewdle Social Camera, a free app for Android devices, suggests names of people in photos taken by an Android smartphone by comparing their
faces to a database of friends tagged in a person's Facebook account. Viewdle works completely on the smartphone so images don't need to be
slowly uploaded to a remote server each time a face is identified.
Viewdle's future plans sound exciting: Devices with enough processor power, including some that are out now, will be able to display photos captured
on the smartphone with each person's most recent Facebook status update shown in bubbles above their heads.
