Flickr has added photo tagging feature as supported by Facebook, Orkut etc. With the addition of tagging feature in Flickr, you can now add a member to a photo, find photos of people you know, and manage which photos you’re in. The feature is called People in Photos.

To add someone to a photo, you can either type in the member’s name, much like you’d add a tag, or you can draw a face boundary on the photo, as with a note. People in Photos has been wired into your your Recent Activity, so you’ll always be up to date with who’s added you to a photo or added other members to your photos.

Flickr also has added several options to manage your privacy. These options are particularly related to who can add you to photos and who can add people to photos you’ve shared. You can even determine on a photo-by-photo basis if you’d like to be featured — after all, everyone has a bad hair day now and then. If you do remove yourself from a photo, only you will be able to add yourself back in. If you decide that People in Photos isn’t your thing, you can remove yourself entirely.

In order to set the preferences, navigate to Your Account –> Privacy & Permissions.
