Google starts Face Recogination and embedd that in Gmail .

Google is on fire today: besides introducing the new activities recommendation engine Schemer, and the news aggregator Currents, the company also improved Google+ with several nifty features, including face detection.
The new feature is called Find my Face, and it helps tag photos of people in pictures, provided they’ve activated the feature.
Google has obviously learned a lesson from Facebook, which suffered some backlash – even an EU probe – over turning its face recognition feature on by default. In Google+, you can accept or reject someone tagging you or turn the feature on and off and, most importantly, the feature is opt-in.
Find my Face will be rolling out to users over the next couple of days.
Gmail has also been upgraded with a couple of social networking features, making it easier to add people to your Google+ Circles from Gmail and share stuff on Google+ without leaving your inbox.
Furthermore, you can now also filter messages in Gmail according to your Circles; for example, you can see only the messages from your family, work colleagues or any other group of people you’ve defined as a Circle.
Google will be rolling out these new features to users’ Gmail and Gmail Contacts over the next couple of days.

Shipping the Google in Google+


A small number weeks in the past Larry referred that we’d start vessels the Google part of Google+. The Android assemblythen launched Ice Cream Sandwich, with a purpose on enhanced dividing by Google+. And today we're turning over out two more Google+ aspects that mix with two more Google products: YouTube and Chrome.

YouTube
It's no surprise that YouTube is loaded up with tons of many content (from encouraging dialogues to tunes videos to honey badgers). We desired to carry YouTube right away into Google+—as well as make it less difficult to watch and share your favorites—so we're starting a YouTube "slider" in the stream. Here’s how it works:
  • Mouse over the new YouTube icon at the apex right of Google+
  • It'll slither out and request, "What would you like to play"?
  • Enter no matter what you're in the condition for (like a subject or a tuneful artist)
We'll start playing a table of connected videos in a new pop-up window, and if you progress the pop-up another placement,you can still navigate your playlist from the slider:

From left to right: YouTube slider (closed), slider (open), pop-up playlist, slider (while playing)

Sharing YouTube videos with your disks in addition works (of course), but there's a good little twist: the population you share with can open a connected playlist right away from your post! Last but not slightest, we’re commencing to embrace YouTube playlists in Google+ explore results.

Chrome
We're in addition turning over out two new Google+ Chrome extensions:
  • +1 button: +1 any webpage and share it with your circles
  • Notifications: review your Google+ notifications while you browse the web
Of course, if you don't use Chrome, then you can use Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer. The new version—also turning over out today—includes these matching dividing and notification features.
