MyHeritage a platform that provides users around the globe with an easy way to learn about their heritage and stay connected with their family and friends continues to maintain its rapid growth across the web. The current user base has jumped from last years 180 million to 260 million and the number of registered users expanding from 17 million to 25 million. MyHeritage has done so by providing its users with everything they promise with more than 230 million images uploaded so far and its availability in 25 languages.

The latest news as reported on TechCrunch is about MyHeritage getting attention from investors for its mammoth growth and raising a series D round that sums to $15 million. The round was led by Index Ventures, including Accel Partners who are the current investors as well.

MyHeritage has also introduced a wide variety of tools including photo recognition (quite like enhancements made to Picasa). The feature lets you tag an image of a person once and then when you upload another picture, the service automatically matches it with already existing images and tags them automatically.

Plus another added feature is that which relieves users of the task of uploading their images directly, all that need to be done is to let MyHeritage sync with services like Facebook, etc and once it is done with the tagging, MyHeritage puts them back to the original service.

With users getting all the quality and support they ever, MyHeritage is bound to pluck off more investments and rapidly expand the number of users for the service.
