Facebook may recognise your friends before you do! The social media giant have introduced new software that automatically recognise users’ faces and suggests friends to assign or “tag” to the pics.
Not sure about you, but I find this slightly creepy.
Then there’s the issue that Facebook didn’t tell users this would happen — resulting in an outcry from angry users that think they should have been told prior to the feature going live.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologised, saying that the software was meant to help speed the tagging process.
Oh dear, what will Facebook do next. Open our front doors for us?

ooh not good at all! I want to keep my work account totally separate to my home account.... not seen a link on an image as yet but only a matter of time! Such an infringement on privacy!

It's funny, I find I am using facebook less, but my non-bloggy friends are using it more.

Agreed, the autocorrect feature on the phones has got me in trouble several times.
