Face.com has released it’s Facial recognition tagging app for Facebook called ‘Photo Tagger’. It scans your FB photo’s and lets you tag faces it identifies, grouping multiple shots to make it easy to tag large albums or edit tagged ones.
Once a ‘friend’ is 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.
The app also comes with a new Photo Tagger feature, dubbed ‘Face Alerts’, which is like ‘Google Alerts’ for faces. You’re notified via FB or email when new public photos of you or your friends are uploaded. More from WSJ here.
