Flickr Tagging of Facebook Friends
After a little more than 4 days of polling My Flickr’s users about tagging Facebook friends in photos, we gathered 115 responses.
Normal tagging of Facebook friends is a relatively straight-forward process to implement, but the infrastructure of placing boxes around friends’ faces will require significantly more time to develop. The tags will be available on Facebook as well as Flickr. They will be machine tags which are almost the same as normal tags, but provide a little more context. Theese machine tags will able to be used in other Flickr 3rd-party applications & provide portability (backup solutions)!
The results from the survey revealed a strong two-thirds win between the two options:
- Tagging of Friends - 66%
- Tagging of Friends with specific frames/boxes - 34%
This will be the next feature I will be working on for My Flickr. Enjoy!
