Computer Science Startup Taaz.com on front page of Union Tribune on Sunday 13 April


Scott LaFee from the San Diego Union Tribune wrote a great Taaz.com story that ran on the Sunday 13 April 2008 issue, above the fold. Congratulations to computer science professor David Kriegman, and Satya Mallick, the freshly minted Jacobs School Ph.D. This pair came up with the "lipstick algorithms" that made way for Taaz.com which is the most realistic virtual makeover site on the Web. And it's free.
The promo video we made for the company launch was mentioned in the story. If you haven't watched the video, check it out here on YouTube.
UPDATE APRIL 21: The YouTube video now has more than 7,000 hits
