Facebook recently announced some breakthrough technology which will help people ID photos. Did you know that 99% of people using Facebook have uploaded at least one photo? Facebook reports that more than 100 million photos are uploaded every day.
When people use Facebook Photos, most of their time is spent uploading, browsing and tagging photos. Users will be able to add tags with just a couple of clicks from the home page (and other sections of the site) using the same face detection technology that cameras have used for years. Currently this is running as a test. With this new feature, tagging is faster since you don’t need to select a face. It’s already selected for you. All the user has to do is type a name and enter.
