http://developers.face.com/docs/ (face.com) provides REST based API which you can integrate into you application for face detection & recognition.
In nutshell, they provide REST based services/methods to detect, recognize, and tag faces in any photo. They also claim that they can determine age of a person from photo. They provide all these services for free with some limits that is 5,000 photos per hour (120,000 per day). It works well with Facebook and twitter; you can also create your private namespace of photos but in that case you need to train index.
You can mix the photo sources like you can search for flickr faces in facebook. You can start using this API by subscribing to their API key. Also they provide PHP & JS libs.
This face recognition works on the concept of known faces index. So before recognition you have to build this index and this process is called training. Index can be builtby adding face tags of known users to index. And accuracy increases by saving more face tags per user.
