If you are one of the tens of thousands of people who signed up for our alpha or beta please check your mailboxes (or spam filters ;-). In the next few hours you will have an invite to the Riya beta. You folks signed up and waited patiently so we wanted to let you use the Riya beta first. In a short while we will open the Beta to everyone. I will post more tomorrow about the last two months of getting this, about the awesome team we have, and about our hopes and dreams for this service. .... But right now it is 3am and I'm going to bed.

Looking forward to the lastest beta. Good luck.

Great job Riya team. I have been following your venture with great interest ever since you launched.

Just wanted to let you know that Riya is racist. It missed about 60% of African-American faces in my photos. This is unacceptable!

hey riya team,
just got started with your site.
man...it rocks.rocks.rocks......and rocks...
I shud refer riya to atleast 100 friends in person....
few (silly) questions
1) will you people allow google bot to crawl public-pic on riya?
2) Is there concept of photo-rank on riya (like PageRank)? if people search for just first name(nitin), I want my pic to come up in top 10 ;-)
3) I have some pic. in which theres some fella, I want to tag him, but dont have his Email address. Can I still tag him ?
4) Do you notify the person whom I add
in my address book ?

Munjal,
Thank you very much for Riya. Even though Riya is finding loads of faces in my photos it is not listing them in Manual Training. I can only identify people by going to each and every photo!
Any ideas when this can be sorted?
