Startup media in India is doing its bit and like all things even this needs to evolve and mature. I think its a demand and supply thing, and the way things are going in India with startup entrepreneurs increasing, the audience for this niche is also building. We will soon see the media learn from its audience and evolve. On the Facial search, guess the idea is not only to make the current gf J, but also find someone similar to the ex, if your heart is still there :D and many more use cases... ;-) Snehal, well articulated.

I feel it is mainly driven by three factors: 1. Online media/reporting is still unprofessional as print, TV reporters/ journalists are very well placed in India. Unlike in US, were some have shifted to online reporting. 2. General people are not much excited , apart from investors and entrepreneurs, very few care about who is at the other end. Facial search engine has long way; the current results are quite funny :) ps : Why would any1 search for some1 who looks like ex-gf/bf ...lolz.. unless to make them jealous...lolzz Startup media indeed is a bit thanda, though, we should not take away the credit for awesome work the guys are doing.
