Here’s their promotion about iLovePhotos.

iLovePhotos is the fastest way to organize and enjoy your photos

iLovePhotos is a FREE Mac OS X desktop software application that introduces:

• Visual Tagging using facial detection to quickly organize your photos
• Smart Slideshows created instantly for your enjoyment
• Automatic Sharing with your friends and family

iLovePhotos is the flagship service of Blue Lava Technologies, a Hawaii based venture integrating facial detection with automatic smart photo organization and multi‐platform distribution. No other platform offers this. Our software brings your photos back into your life. We’re currently looking for software programmers, beta users, and really smart people as we prepare to launch this summer.

iLovePhotos.com has been built with a mission to bring photos back into people’s lives. Our service creates an entirely new photo sharing paradigm. Imagine seeing every photo anyone has ever taken of you. Imagine automatically sharing all your photos with your friends. Using facial detection and visual tagging, iLovePhotos simplifies photo management by doing two things: 1) Automatically sharing your photos with the people in each photo, and 2) Automatically creating compelling slideshows out of your photos.

Lorenz is co-founder and president of Blue Lava Technologies, a Hawaii based Internet venture founded in 2006. Blue Lava is co-founded with Henk Rogers, who introduced the world to Tetris and recently sold Blue Lava Wireless to Electronic Arts.

Prior to Blue Lava, Lorenz was co-founder at New Direct Ideas, an award winning online direct marketing company based in Boston. In 2004, New Direct received the New England Direct Marketing Association’s Award for Creative Excellence in Interactive Marketing, beating Digitas for first place.

He comes from an extensive background in both software development and direct marketing, and received his BS in Computer Engineering from Tufts University.
