Facesaerch is meant to be a business tool that allows people to match up a name on a business card with a photo of the person. This would be useful if you've just come back from a big networking event or perhaps were too inebriated to remember who gave you that card at the bar last night.
The Facesaerch site supposedly has a big following in China, but really, as cool as it sounds, it's nothing new. Essentially it's just a Google image search on a black background, viewed with Piclens...
