with a combination of Hot or Not and Google's facial recognition technology, could they not create a machine that knows what makes a person beautiful and then find the most beautiful person on the internet? That would be an interesting waste of time and energy :P still, it would be cool to see

I think I saw something similar on Digg a while back... Let me see if I can find it..

Okay here I go... (Google query: hot or not faces site:digg.com)

Man that could be a winning formula. Start the photocopiers!

I had this idea too DPic :)

<<Combining the "site" operator with the face search as Piotr does is very interesting. Here's a Flickr search trying to find only Creative Commons licensed photos:

http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&imgc=color&safe=off&q=site%3Aflickr.com+filetype%3Ajpg+%22additional+information%22+%22some+rights+reserved%22&btnG=Search+Images&imgtype=face

Lazyweb idea: grab the first 1,000 ones in good resolution and create FlickrFaces.com, a "Pretty or Not" application (for sorting & ranking, users can vote for beauty on a scale of 1-10, and every once in a while are asked to tell if they're seeing a male/ female, kids /adult face).>>

What about those persons who had not been photographed? Maybe the most beautiful person has not been discovered yet by a camera ;)

Sound great, Zim makes a point thou

(Off topic, but a category search, like the one above, now gives the following measage – "Showing only a restricted set of images (show all images)")
