Rumors: Facebook Using Face.com’s Facial Recognition, Acquisition Offer Rebuffed

Guy Grimland of Israeli business newspaper TheMarker published two articles (both are in Hebrew) this morning about a rumored relationship between Facebook and Face.com . The first article claims that Face.com rebuffed an acquisition offer worth 'tens of millions of dollars'. The second article claims that Face.com is powering Facebook Photos' facial recognition functionality, which was clearly upgraded in the past few months, albeit, with no indication there was a third party involved.
