We wouldn't be surprised if Facebook has 2 Chainz's "Spend It" blaring through its offices. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Facebook has agreed to buy Face.com, a photo-recognition company that developed the system that allows users to tag people in photos. 

Facebook said in a statement today that "Face.com’s technology has helped to provide the best photo experience. This transaction simply brings a world-class team and a long-time technology vendor in house.”

It wouldn't be a stretch to think Face.com's Face Recognition Camera app will be rolled into Facebook's new Photo app.
