Full disclosure: I work at face.com.

Face.com just launched a free (up to an hourly limit) face detection and recognition REST API. We got a very handy API sandbox that developers can use to play the API and to see what it can and can't do. Besides the obvious point of letting you guys know about the API, I wanted to hear from you what kind of applications you think can be developed with it.

Some pretty obvious ideas:

Face based login (not entirely secure but still fun).
Automatic face crop for sites that let users upload photos (dating sites etc)
Some kind of integration into augmented reality games

There is no right or wrong answers here, use your imagination :).
