    I was quite inspired by Mustachio.me (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2878140), and decided to take it one step further :)

    There's a Greasemonkey script linked off the site that replaces images in webpages automatically, much like their Chrome extension.

    This must solve for one of those "first world problems" I keep reading about.

    Cool!

    Your facebook like button and twitter button render wrong for me though. They get pushed underneath the picture. (Firefox 3.5.16)

    This is cool. Check out http://laserey.es/ to see a more fun and intuitive UI.

    I would add one-click "beardify me" links for Twitter and Facebook. With some luck it could start a movement.

    Color for the last line of the page is pretty hard to read (dark blue on black background). Else it is pretty fun to use ! EDIT: you might wanna find a way to avoid NSFW pictures on front page (just had one ^^)

    I kid you not, I have been in need of this exact service. Would you consider sharing the code? I have another beard-centric project idea that I'd love to see come to light.

    That looks suspiciously like my beard, for which I have just filed a patent application.

    Face.com api is amazingly powerful.
