I'm close to launching a memory trainer for remembering Names and Faces. It uses a spaced repetition algorithm based on Super Memo 2 (Anki does as well, but I'm not sure how far it has evolved from its SM2 roots): http://www.supermemo.com/english/ol/sm2.htm

I've also found SRS to be incredibly effective when combined with other mnemonic techniques, while learning French. I wrote about this recently: http://www.ubermemory.com/blog/understanding-mnemonics
