facebook image tagging

[DjNaF]

A tagging feature that is integrated with “My Photos”.

 

It allows you to add a textual descriptor (tag or person’s name) to a specific point in the

 

image.

 

This allows the module to describe who or what are included in a specific album.

 

When the images are viewed, placing the mouse over a tag displays a fixed sized square

 

indicating where the tag (person) is located within the image.

 

This enables users to identify objects by visual inspection or by matching the list of

 

contained objects with their tag displays

 

Another capability incorporates the site’s concept of friends. If the person you tag is

 

identified as your friend on the site, their name will link to their profile.

 

The site will also count this image in the “photos of” feature on their profile, allowing

 

inclusion of photos added by other users.

 

Anyone got an idea how this concept is working? and The image tagging thing, i think its in AJAX maybe, any ideas how to do that, or already scripts using this?

 

Thank you

javascript little box with a link to that persons URL.

 

when you add a tag it will save that images tags in a table, with one of the fields being like "friend id".

 

the whole adding/renaming etc is an ajax method yes, its similar to tags on a flickr photo i believe.
