Here is a link to a June 18 article announcing face.com's acquisition by Facebook.
Below is the mail I received today.
Hi Yousuf Fauzan,
You're getting this email because you've signed up as a Face.com developer and have actively used our API in the last six months.
As you may have read, Face.com has been acquired by Facebook. We're excited to move forward to work with all our friends at Facebook. Part of this process includes closing down other products and services that we are no longer able to support, and this includes the Face.com developers API.
We are tremendous fans (and members) of the software development community and have always worked hard to offer interesting, innovative and easy-to-use developer tools. In return, tens of thousands of engineers have signed up for developer tokens to build face recognition products we could never have thought of ourselves. Interacting with and learning from the developer community has always been one of the best parts of working at Face. We're hoping to interact with you in the future as part of Facebook's developer network, and we want to thank you for your support and for using our services.
Over the next 30 days we will be shutting off our APIs and winding down all support. New signups for developer tokens are now closed. Some of you out there have built products, even whole businesses, that leverage or rely on our APIs. We want to do what we can to ease the challenges of this transition, so if you're going to need more than 30 days to figure out your next steps, please let us know here, and we'll do what we can to allow you more time to transition.
Many thanks once again for your loyal support and the creativity you've brought to Face.com.
