face.com voted best of show @techonomy

2009 March 31
by Gil

Today we got our first chance to speak in public about face.com. It was at Techonomy, a great event that “delves into the business and economy behind the Web 2.0 technological revolution”. The 6 selected companies were all fresh, innovative, and very cool. Each company had its 7 minutes to speak followed by a round of questions and comments from the on-stage panelists. All the speakers put on a great show, and the tweets in the background kept the crowd engaged. Sarah Lacy wrapped up the event, giving a chance for the crowd to vote for their favorite company. We were very honored to be selected as the best in show by the crowd, for us it was great to get this recognition – thanks to all of those who voted!

For the first time we’ve also demo’d face.com’s face recognition engine in action, processing a staggering 50 photos/sec on my laptop. Check it out in this flixwagon video:

It was a great way to start the day, thanks to the great work by the organizers, and the great crowd that showed up.

    Hi Gil-
    Just a small question- how many people from face.com went to a university? What is the percentage of the people from the Israeli startup scene that went to uni?

    Thanks!
