You've got to give this a try. It's almost as cool as Google's new streetside views feature, although it's a secret that's been kept on the down low. Say you want to find pictures of Hayden Panettiere (aka Claire Bennet) from the show "Heroes". You type in Claire Heroes in the Google Image box and your results appear. Now say you just wanted pictures of Hayden's face. By simply adding &imgtype=face to the end of your Google Image search URL, your new search will only provide headshots of Hayden.
The official Google Blog claims that this new facial recognition software will "make it a lot easier for you to organize and find the photos you care about." Stay tuned for more stalkerish updates associated with this new recognition tool.

That's so bizarre and I really don't see the point. Face shots will come up in a regular image search on Google. However, I do like the street view thing. I think that's pretty nifty.

It doesn't work for me either.
6Once Google figures out how to bring me coffee every morning, I'll be powerless to resist.
