Sean wrote an interesting article here about Riya being the end of Flickr. I have one clarification and one thought:
Clarification: Riya does not do object recognition - some limited object similairty - but very limited. Our services does do face and text recognition.
Comment: I don't think Riya will be the end of Flickr. The power of Flickr is the community building infrastructure it provides. The ability to relate with others and communicate with photos as only a proxy for doing that. Many of the tags on Flickr are more emotive or editorial in nature and a computer is never going to be able to replace that.

Will there be any future possibilities of adding object/landmark recognition to the capabilities of Riya's software?
