On a tangent, what do some of the Commons regulars think of the system Facebook has for tagging people in photos? That would seem to be an application that would be very useful for Commons.
Is there a description for non-facebook-users? Or do I have to become a member?
Users place the tags directly onto the image; the effect is similar to a HTML image map. They click on a person in the picture, and enter the name of the person as the tag, and the coordinates are stored. Then users viewing the photo roll over the tag and see a frame appear over the image at the coordinates specified.
