Riya Rumors

For the past few months, there have been many speculations about our future as an independent company. For various legal reasons I couldn't and still can't directly comment on these. However, at this time, Riya continues as an independent team fully focused on making our photo search dream a reality.

As we say on our site: "Riya is more than photo search. Our goal is to help you find every photo of yourself on the web. We want to help you recover every moment, every place you’ve been and all of the people you’ve met along the way. We want to give you the tools to discover your future, every place you want to go and meet new friends. We will be successful when we can find every digital photo in the world."

We still have a very long ways to go, but this is a journey we want to undertake. Our goal was to pursue the best path that would allow us to achieve this vision and in some small way change the world.

As I hope you've seen we are manically focused on building a product people will love. Thus, we are going to keep learning from our alpha users and we plan to launch in general public availability (anyone can register) at the Demo conference in February. We hope to see you there.
