In these days there has been much fuzzing about the new browsing with files organizing themselves with the help of meta data. Maybe you ask yourself "What have this to do with the spatial browsing in gnome and how can it improve the browsing?". That's what I did. As I see it, the gnome people have introduced the spatial browsing so we are used to it when this new browsing is coming to town. This is very intelligent move of the gnome people and will help us adopt faster to this. This is when the spatial browsing is really making sense. I hope you see this when you've read this article.

Watch the video demo. Eugenia linked up a shorter video on C|Net a couple of weeks ago. This is much more in depth and a lot of fascinating stuff is in there.
The software recognizes all videos and pics with faces in them (toward the last minute). Right now casinos here in vegas run facial recognition software to detect crooks, cheats and counters. This stuff filters down quickly. High end 2 years ago is today's budget.
The imgSeek looks like quite a few steps in the right direction too. So you can pick a pic and say basically "find all similar." Then keyword them or assign them to a temporary "group."
