I have no face (does that make me one of the faceless masses?). I just
use the bitmap collection from iuvax.cs.indiana.edu to show peoples
organisations. As far as I am concerned, I'd like to see more bitmaps
in that collection.

Also, the quipu directory service has the capability for storing faces
in it, but the size can be anything you like. Unfortunately, the
compression method that they have chosen is not very efficient -- in
particular in the majority of cases, each input bit is represented by
more than one output bit!!
