got geoint?

Let’s face it. Everyone who is on Facebook has surely untagged photos of themselves on the social networking site. Many of us are “friends” with bosses, co-workers, clients and business partners; and that photo of you doing tequila shots in Cancun may not go over well with your professional network. Well, how would you feel about a new application that uses facial recognition technology to alert you when a photo of yourself — tagged or untagged — appears on Facebook? Check out this TechCrunch article on the application. Of course, this begs the question: when will there be a Facebook application that focuses on location? Not only targeting where Facebook users are in real-time, but also gives the geo-location of each photo? It’s only a matter of time.
