Facebooks new "tag suggestions" technology uses facial recognition technology to guess which friends appear in your photos. This will be especially handy when you upload large albums of photos and don't want to go through the tedium of tagging every single one.
The technology could have some interesting applications for branding and advertising if it's made available through the API. Getting yourself "tagged" in as many peoples photos as possible for example or using it as proof that you turned up at an event.
