ReadWriteWeb

There are a bunch of companies trying to figure out how to get a machine to be correctly identify images just by looking at them. We've profiled a bunch on ReadWriteWeb before: Eyealike, Mugr, Riya/Like, and Pixsta. Generally the tech demos for these visual search technologies fall into two categories: shopping search or facial recognition. The latter is on display in a new Russian startup we came across this week called Picollator.
