Facebook to add facial recognition to tagging {Social Networking}

Following the news that Mark Zuckerberg has been named Time Magazine’s Person of the year 2010, Facebook are continuing their “we’re developing it whether you like it or not” mission and have announced their latest development.  Facial recognition tagging for photos will make it easier and quicker to tag people in photos. Similar to the facial recognition software in photo editing tools, the function will learn your friend’s faces and suggest them when you upload new photos.

You can turn off facial recognition if you’re really panicking about being tagged on that bender-you-never-went-on-honest-boss. To disable suggested tags go to your Privacy Settings. Just click “Customize Settings” and “Suggest photos of me to friends.” Your name will no longer be suggested in photo tags, though friends can still tag you manually.

Hands up who’s thinking “will it work on my dog?”
