Riya Photo Search

22 Mar 2006

Gert told me Riya is open for signups. Riya will be unstable, s..l..o..w, buggy, inaccurate, and could lose some (or all) of your tags. It may also be unavailable from time to time and may slow down your machine while uploading your photos (they recommend you upload overnight). Riya is in beta phase, which means that they are all about learning from you to get better. Riya needs you to give them loads of feedback and give it often so they can improve over time. Riya is a Photo search engine that is best used on personal photos of friends and family, not on public pictures you got from the internet somewhere.

Riya

Warning: Riya will only work if you

• Have high resolution JPEG’s with date and time from your camera

• Have many photos of the most common people in your photoset
• Don’t give it scanned photos, photos with bad lighting, or profile shots of faces
• They recommend you upload at least 1000 photos w/ full albums

Riya will take about a day to upload 4000 photos.
