Facebook shopping spree

So, a good bit of people have heard that Facebook bought Instagram (social photo sharing company), but did you know this has led Facebook to go on a shopping spree of business proportion? They have been buying companies, mostly new companies, left and right since this moment, and now they are trying to get another company, Face.com. Face is a Israeli technology company that focuses on facial recognition.

Why would facebook be interested with Face, when all Facebook is a social site? Well let us look at it like this, a big thing facebook has been trying to crack down on is the amount of fake user accounts, and security all around. They could take Face and use some of their workers to help beef up the security features by adding facial recognition. Or maybe they could just use it to help with the tagging feature of pictures. All that is for certain is that whatever it is for, it is for a new feature that will probably get a punch in the stomach a few times before people start using it and liking it.
