I started uploading some more pictures tonite to Riya. The first question that I asked myself was:
‘Does Riya upload the full sized images?’
This could be a severe bottleneck in the uploader part of the service. At the moment, if it does upload full sized images, then I do not see any reason to do so, because users do not see the full sized image on the web side anyways. If this is required for the image recognition algos to work more efficiently, then there needs to be some trade-off setting which the user can tweak. I tried downloading a photograph from the web site, and it came back as a resized version. So, not sure about what size is uploaded. Would be good if someone from Riya can leave a comment on this one.
My first review on Alpha II is here.

Ravneet,
Riya resizes your photos to a maximum height of 600 pixels before uploading them to your account. When you download photos from Riya, the resized version is downloaded.
Hope this helps…
