KLIK is Alive…and we have the party pics to prove it

We’ve been secretly working on “Project Badass” (not really its name) for months now and last week was the culmination of many sleepless nights, a massive quantity of spousal understanding and at least 3 crying fits (but really manly crying fits, like those of a conquering hero).  Introducing KLIK – a real-time mobile face recognition application.

KLIK is Face.com’s new real-time mobile face recognition camera application.  Just download the app here, connect it to Facebook, Twitter or both and voila!  You’ll be recognizing friends with your mobile phone in no time (and in real time too).  It’s magic – and we don’t use that word lightly.  Share photos on KLIK, Facebook, Twittter, and with friends.  If you don’t like it, we’ll give you double your money back.  Did I mention it’s free? Common responses we received at the party were “woah!”, “Holy crap!”, and “I love it, but it still needs some work.” We’re still in the initial stages of development but wanted to share it with friends, get your feedback and continue to improve.  If KLIK doesn’t recognize a face – snap a photo, tap “Tag Me” over unrecognized faces to pick a name, and then save the photo (no need to share). The more photos you save, the better KLIK gets.

To celebrate our hard work, the entire Face.com team flew to San Francisco to live it up. About 120 people gathered at the amazing Clift Hotel Spanish Suite to party with the beautiful people (hey, we had to make up for our ugly mugs), an amazing live band, food, copious amounts of liquor, a KLIK themed drink called a ‘KLIKtail’, demo stations and all kinds of cool schwag to toast the birth of KLIK.  If you didn’t attend, we totally invited you and you should check your spam folder.

Some party pics and pictures from the KLIK app are below including CEO Gil Hirsch getting jiggy with feedbomb – the best Silicon Valley cover band there ever was.  Much fun was had by all.  Thank you to our team for working so tirelessly, our friends for attending and showing us the love, and finally all our users and developers who have given us valuable feedback and support.  We look forward to continuing the work to make KLIK even better and welcome your honest feedback.
