Facebook Facial-Recognition Tagger Goes Live
November 11, 2009
by Andrew LaVallee
Reporter, The Wall Street JournalFace.com is opening its photo-tagging system, based on facial-recognition technology, to Facebook members Wednesday.
Photo Tagger, which launched to a limited group of users in July, scans a user’s photo albums on the social-networking site, then lets him tag faces it identifies. It groups multiple shots of each person, making it easy to tag large albums, and users can also adjust or remove incorrectly tagged pictures.
Once a member has been identified, the app prompts him or her to approve the tag–a crucial privacy step, since he or she may not want to be labeled in a photo. It also works with a member’s current photo-privacy settings on Facebook.
Remember those pictures you begged your friend not to tag you in?
