Getting tagged in Facebook photos… is a post from: The Inquisitr

Today in puzzling Facebook changes sweeping the nation is across-the-board removal of the “Comment” button, which has been replaced with the “enter” key.

If you get email notification for Facebook comments, you might notice an increased amount of Facebook-centric activity in your inbox as other users adjust to the change. Multi-paragraph comments are still possible- shift+enter will add a break between paragraphs, but the practice will probably take a bit of time to get used to with a bit of premature pontification in the interim occurring.

The removal of the “Comment” button is just one of the comment-centric changes in the update. Before the button was axed, comments could not be edited. Now instead of deleting a comment you’ve made and re-posting it, you can change it after it goes live. (This could lead to some Facebook trolling.)

Also added is the ability to tag friends and things in your comments. Just like in status updates, typing @friend’s name as you’re commenting adds a tag, as seen in the screenshot below:

Have you adjusted to the changes? Do you think the new system in an improvement or an annoyance?

How to tag people in a Facebook wall post, explained is a post from: The Inquisitr

Back in May, we told you about Face.com’s Photo Finder, a facial recognition app for Facebook that aims to find tags for untagged photos floating about in your network.

Photo Finder has racked up some impressive stats since it launched, scanning over a billion faces and facilitating the tagging of over 400 million of those photos. (Point of reference for my fellow New Yorkers- that’s like tagging an entire rush hour 6 train full of people!) Here’s the stat breakdown, from Face.com’s blog:

13 Million photos scanned a day.
550 Thousand an hour.
9 Thousand a minute.
150 per second.

On average, a Photo Finder user uploads 300 pics and has around 10,000 in their network, 2/3s of which are untagged or partially tagged. Enter Photo Tagger. Photo Tagger was conceived to allow users to power-tag these untagged pics. It scans your albums or your friends’ albums, batches your peeps into groups and suggests tags for them. All you have to do is confirm the tags and the app pushes them out to Facebook.

Photo Tagger is currently in closed alpha, but it sounds like a handy little tool for making photo sharing more efficient. Check out the screencaps below to see the tagging process in action.

The driving force behind Face.com, a company based in Israel and New York, has been to develop the best in class facial recognition software. In keeping with this the company has just released a Facebook app called Photo Finder. The idea behind the app is to let you scan all the photos on you network in Facebook finding photos of yourself and your friends and then tag them.

During the closed alpha of a few thousand people Photo Finder was able to scan 400 million photos and identify over 700 thousand people/faces.

The app works by scanning the public photos in your Facebook networks and suggest tags for those that are either partially tagged or not tagged at all. Face.com says it is the fastest, most powerful and most accurate facial recognition app available making it the best way to find photos of yourself and your friends that you may not have known even existed.
