California - UPI
Facebook said it has acquired Face.com, an Israeli start-up that developed facial recognition technology for Web sites and mobile applications. The deal was worth $100 million, sources told The Jerusalem Post. The Israeli company has released two apps used on Facebook called Photo Tagger and Photo Finder. A statement released by Facebook Monday said the deal \"simply brings world-class team and long-time technology vendor in house.\" The Israeli company is Facebook\'s second Israeli acquisition, the Post said.
