I’m sure Gil and the boys & girls will figure out good ways to keep all this safe and, more importantly, reasonable. Maybe something as simple as having to type in a valid email address when you tag someone in photos? That way, if the email gets bounced back as being fake, the photos don’t get tagged. Or maybe you have to enter the person’s Facebook/Twitter/Google/etc. ID for them to verify the tags, otherwise it’s a no-go. I’m sure they’ll think of much better ways, but with all the API work being done and ID programs (e.g. Facebook Connect), this technology is bound to do more good than harm, I’d say.

Wow, it's very interesting to think that your first application is going to be one that's rather scary! Andrea HIll’s last blog post..PhotoFinder - What are your Facebook photos telling about you?

Is this a safe place to admit that I've never said "yes" to a Facebook application in my entire life? I've always avoided them like forwarded Urban Legend e-mail from Aunt Selma. This one might be a good place to start. Looks pretty cutting-ege. Brett Borders’s last blog post..Why It Pays to Befriend the ‘Little Guy’
