.
Soon your face could be your calling card. An upcoming app for Android, iOS, and Google Glass called NameTag will allow you to photograph strangers and find out who they are -- complete with social networking and online dating profiles.
Spot someone out and about that you want to identify, and you can capture their face using your device's camera. The app will send the photo wirelessly to NameTag's server, where it will compare the photo to millions of online records and return with a name, more photos, and social-media profiles, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, where the person (or their friends) might have publicly posted photos of themselves.

Glad I don't have an account on ANY "social sites" - this is only the "Model A" of what lies ahead.

| On the other hand, if everyone would create multiple profiles under different names, etc., the software would loose its mind. |

| Great idea Fitz, but the chances of that are kinda slim. This is strictly the Model "A" version ... it could easily come up with a A.K.A. version I would think. - People born today will NEVER have ANY IDEA of what freedom was all about, ... Then again, you can't miss something you never had. |
