Title should give some indication, however concise, of what the opinion is about.

Body should elaborate on that without requiring further clicking. URL should be clickable.

The audience doesn't need a FAQ explaining what a FAQ is (and giving no information about the page's subject).

Menus should work.

Typos galore.

The basic concept of the product is interesting, assuming I'm right in assuming it processes pictures for identifiable advertising content and reports that metadata. What's the source of the pictures? live feed from Google Glass? deliberate pictures from iPhones? does it (as I'd expect) mine a large collection of photos? Sends mined metadata off to what services? Who would actually run this thing? seems it would be most useful running on consumer photo streams, but why would the consumer download & run this app? Are there privacy controls?

The page indicates the product runs on mobile devices, but seems the real use would be on "big iron" image server farms: leveraging anonymous photos, process billions of images for large-scale mining. Where does the program/process run?

Seems the page is a whipped-up "v0.1 alpha" advertising page for an algorithm in need of a business model.
