Find out why Facebook seems to be the only site that has the ability to detect faces/objects within pics and allow users to tag them accordingly.
Maybe it's used elsewhere and I just haven't seen it - enlighten me oh c0r! |

love it! get 5 people to upload pics with you in them and tag you, all of a sudden you've got an instant photo album with pics of yourself for your other friends to look at :)
of course sometimes people up/tag the ugliest photos. I know some chicks particularly hate that lol. |

i thought he was talking about something else....where you could like move your picture so that the avatar image is wherever on the pic you wanted it to be centered.
yeah, the ID/tagging thing is neat |

Well, imo, it's the main component of what made Facebook really take off - especially so to certain demographics (35+) that normally wouldn't touch a social networking site with a 10 foot pole -- if it wasn't for the mini-feed/profile content being updated with photos what other 'info' is really sticky/appealing enough to have many ppl hooked from the start? Photos.
Without it, everything else was basically the same - apart from a cleaner interface and nifty controls over who sees your information/profile.
Think about it -- prior to such efficient tagging it was the case that pics of you were buried off in someone else's profile/photobucket/wherever and it was up to you to go and download it and upload it to your own space/etc. That's tiresome and only the die-hards ever bothered to put the effort required to keep their pics fresh/recent -- most ppl have a friend in their social circle who is more into taking pics than others - 'tagging' allows that friend to take on the role of documenting social events you participate in.
My only beef is that they should have an option to ask your permission prior to allowing a friend to tag you in a photo -- but that would mean less updates and of course less pageviews - which is not a good thing since apparently Facebook is just breaking even. |
