Thank you, Jim. I investigated the published details of Facebook's recognition algorithm ("Facespace"?) and they are talking about projecting and comparing 17 different points on a face. That is far more time and effort than I was willing to invest in the project, especially since I was doing the measurements and calculations myself by hand. I don't entirely trust the "black box" approach: garbage in, garbage out, as they say.
Still, if you want to use Facebook as a platform for evaluating the various claims of identity, might I suggest starting a Facebook page and loading it with a few photos that you label with names. Then drop a new photo in there (without a name) and let Facebook suggest a name. Hardly scientific, but suggestive.
