What do you get when you combine check-ins, facial-recognition technology, and small cameras? If you’re advertising and marketing agency Redpepper, you get Facedeals.

Users must authorize the Facedeals application in order to take part, and the app verifies their appearance by analyzing their most recent tagged photos.
