On a tangent, what do some of the Commons

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.
