Creepy? A little bit. Amazing? Very. The applications for technology like this are vast and exciting, but also intimidating. As Squidder say themselves,

… imagine associating specific faces with twitter (or “face”book… …. sorry) usernames and you’ve suddenly combined the power social networking with video monitoring that would make the Brit’s CCTV system cry like it just got relegated to League Two.
