Your out having a good time one night with your friends … a really good time. You wake up the next morning and have some emails in your inbox and a few missed calls. Apparently one of your friends just tagged you in some photos and you look like crap! First message: “Hey Nick, just wanted to say that I saw your pictures from last night. Looks like you had fun! Call me later.” Second message: “Nick, dude … you seriously had way too much fun last night. Have you seen the pictures on Facebook?”

Not that I’ve experienced this or anything but for those that have, I’m sure it can be pretty bad. The first step is to not act like a fool in front of your friends who all have digital cameras. If you are in college and end up acting like an idiot one night though it would be nice if there was some way to know that you have been tagged in photos and they are about to be published to your friends’ newsfeeds.

Worry no more thanks to the Photo Tag Alert application. As soon as this application spots a new photo that you’ve been tagged in, you will immediately receive a text message to your phone. You can then logon and untag yourself from any of the compromising photos that you may not want all your Facebook friends to see. While Facebook already sends you email alerts, not everybody gets email on their phone. For those unfortunate few, you can now use the Photo Tag Alert application. Enjoy!
