With such technologies, it'd be fun to see a face recognition pattern which finds people with similar faces on facebook :)

I remember some experiment where they merged hundreds of photos of people from the same country and you could see the emerging patterns of big heads, big noses countries, etc. Fascinating.

As to why google would buy like.com, no idea!

facial recognition search: it's so when everybody changes their name per Eric Schmidt's recommendation, Google can still find you :)
