This service will work with a very simple protocol. Users can send a picture with a face using Send Photos software, and then Face.com would give you data regarding age. It sends back an upper-lower limit, estimated age and a confidence score.

This age estimation has application in web ads too. Various add agencies have approached Face.com to find out user’s age and gender. They can, hence, serve appropriate ads and hence get more clicks.
