Free face recognition software from..... you guessed it Google!!

Another cool trick I came across recently is a way to make google return only image results that have faces in them. The trick here is in adding a little parameter to the end of your google image search result. For example:
if you search "ocean" in google, you will see this
but, if after searching, you go to the address bar and add " &imgtype=face ", then press "enter" on your keyboard, you will instead see this

you can see that the first query returns a bunch of pictures of an ocean ( as in with water)

the second query, however, returns a bunch of faces of people named ocean.

Ill work on getting a video of exactly how to do this in a bit.
