Facebook has just introduced face recognition features into their platform. In a messages sent out nd also posted on walls of members, they announced;

We're always working to make Facebook better, so we're adding more ways to use face recognition apart from just suggesting tags. For example, face recognition technology can do things such as:

• Find photos you're in but haven't been tagged in
• Help protect you against strangers who use your photo
• Tell people with visual impairments who's in your photo or video

You control face recognition. This setting is on, but you can turn it off at any time, which applies to features we may add later.
