This is pretty useful to know. Eventually, when I get the time, I'll look further into using this myself. But for now, just wanted to spread the news in case you haven't heard.

Collecting data has always been a huge deal. Marketing terms like "big data" and "hadoop" have been constantly thrown around industries in attracting companies and customers. However, what's been difficult to analyze has been images collected. Thus, this makes such APIs as the ones mentioned in the article above a pretty powerful tool. Analyzing images and creating more metadata regarding the image and updating data storing appropriately to benefit the data analytical tools applied - will be very helpful in making better decisions shaping the future of people, companies, industries, and the world.
May the force be with you,
