Re: bp-photo what a GREAT plugin!
@Burt – User tagging, as I see it, is exactly like Facebook’s User tagging: 1. user uploads photo 2. anyone with viewing rights on photo can hover over photo and see a square around something id’d as a person 3. you are then presented with a list of your friends to “tag” that user in the photo.
It’s viral. People upload their own photos and tag themselves and friends & family. That links and notifies all those members they were “tagged” in a photo. Others view the photo, perhaps recognize themselves or someone and then do some tagging as well (presuming the image tagging isn’t complete.
While I think FB uses some recognition technology to determine how many humans are in the photo but it ends there. You would really only need the ability to mark a section of the image so pics with multiple persons would be identifiable.
I hope this clarifies.
