Google Pockets Viewdle in Brewing Facial Recognition Face-off

Google-owned Motorola Mobility is acquiring Viewdle, a Ukrainian firm that makes facial recognition technology. Motorola had been in talks with Viewdle before it was acquired by Google. The acquisition of Viewdle, a pioneer in technology that recognizes and tags people in photos, figures to be a boon for Google+, Android and other Google services. Earlier this year, Facebook acquired Israeli-based Face.com, which also makes facial recognition software.
