Face Tags

A new feature of Google's picture site is an app that scans pictures and recognises faces. It is pretty amazing. After about two minutes it had scanned all of the online pictures and sorted the faces that it was able to recognise into who it thought they were. I just had to put a name to the the faces. It took about five minutes to do.

Anyway, it will allow me to put e-mail addresses on the contacts. I haven't. I don't even think the average user can see the nametags. I would be interested in knowing what people think of nametagging - if your picture is in one of my albums chances are you've been tagged. Here is a link to Google's explanation of the feature.
