I love Facebook. Its a simple, easy, fun way to keep in touch with friends and waste time when you’re bored.
I also like to upload my photos and share with friends. Tagging photos however when you’ve gone crazy snapping all your friends takes time and is often left for one of those bored afternoons when you have nothing better to do.
Well according to MarketingVox this may soon be a thing of the past. Google’s Picasa Version 3 includes facial recognition software… sounds kind of scary!
Could that type of feature lure people away from Facebook over to Orkut?

Internet Explorer is in for a lot more competition. As if Firefox wasn’t a big enough worry for them Google have just released their own browser, Google Chrome.
I downloaded it at work today to give it a crack and was quite impressed. It has a very simple interface keeping most of the screen free to show what’s most important, the web content. It also has a series of other features and benefits that I didn’t notice straight away. What I did notice was the ease to import all of your settings (bookmarks, passwords etc) from Firefox meaning I was up and running in seconds.
Unfortunately it hasn’t yet launched for the Mac, but you can leave your email address with Google and they’ll keep you up to date.
You can read more about the browser at the Google blog.
