Want to know whether or not it’s a good idea to tag your friend in that photo? While common sense can get you pretty far, some people aren’t too clear on what’s proper etiquette. If you are looking for a job or are still in school, you could benefit from our best tagging practices. We’re currently experimenting with a number of video series but this latest video is part of our “Facebook Etiquette” series.
Inside Social Apps, held on February 8-9 in San Francisco, is less than two weeks away. This is the third conference on the future of monetization on social and mobile platforms. Leaders from the industry will share their views on today's most formidable challenges affecting social and mobile apps and games in 2012. Inside Social Apps conferences sell out in advance, so take advantage of early registration pricing. Early bird rates end on February 1, so register today.
Hi there and great video. Hopefully it gets people to think a little more about tagging. One thing you neglected to mention is that people can avoid this issue altogether with the right privacy settings. In "Applications and Websites" select "What your friends can share about you." Uncheck ALL of that if you want maximum protection from embarrassment. In my experience almost everyone fails to do this. Selecting "friends only" on all of your privacy settings isn't enough because they can still share pics of you that are tagged. This setting greatly increases your privacy.
Cheers!

when you untag yourself in someone else's photo, you cannot be retagged by anyone else anyway.
I have just noticed this article has been reported as ABUSIVE bu facebook users. Can anyone please explain WHY tagging people without their consent or tagging inappropriate images would be considered abusive???
Sure. If you took a picture of you friend doing something that he/she only likes to do with good friends and sent that picture in to the newspaper, they'd have a right to be upset right?
Same thing.

There is another new thing for tagging.
If there are your girlfriend in a photo without you, you should tag yourself between her legs..
