Social Tagging

Feature

Picasa is introducing a new feature that allows you to name tag people in your Google+ circles and notify them via Google.

Feature Name: Social Tagging

Location: This feature can be accessed by clicking on the tag symbol at the bottom of a picture and or album.

Icon: Small rectangular tag

Tool Tip: This is a fun and easy way to share pictures and albums with other Google+ users.

How It Works:  Picasa does this by linking your Picasa, Picasa Web Albums, or Google+ accounts and using your pre-existing Google Account contacts to auto-complete the names of friends and family during the process of name tagging pictures. Picasa can then share the tagged albums with the appropriate contacts, sending them an email or a message through Google+ to let them know they can browse the album and approve the tags. This feature is similar to tagging friends and family in photo albums on Facebook.
