So Google has done it again, and by "it" I mean blow my mind. And in
the process make me feel like I'll never keep up. There's a new feature
called name tags
that will scan your online photos in all of your albums and identify
matching faces for you. Then you can assign those faces to nick names
or contacts from your Gmail contact list. After that's done, now you
can ask Picasa to show you "pictures of mom". Ta-da!
I'm usually
super-thrilled about whatever Google tosses out into the world. This
time I'm just a bit concerned. Perhaps the idea that if I put a
complete contact-association with full name, email, address, phone,
etc. to a photo in an album of mine, Google potentially has the ability
to (unlawfully) start looking for that person in any photo on the
Internet.
