Stay tuned, we will announce it on this blog as soon as this is deployed.

yes, i am also not happy about that! why is it so important to publish the name of the user who tagged the pic? i think that more pictures will be tagged in future, if the tagger has the option to remove his name from the picture.

i don´t like to see what pics other users had found. the pics are the only important thing! not the users! thats my opinion!

so please remove the names of the users! or at least my name from my tagged pictures!

thanks for reading and greetings!

I hope they will create tools , which will solve those issues. The fact that I can't control the presence on my own pictures online sucks big time. @ Jens: This service is a huge privacy violation.

I stopped tagging, because I was in the habit of just tagging every picture that I came across and I knew who was in it, but that lead to there being pictures I don't really want to be associated with. Now anyone can go to polarrose, lookup my name and see all the pics I tagged. I'm not happy with it.

]]> Comment on Funny Duplicates by beniguet http://blog.polarrose.com/2008/08/funny-duplicates/#comment-109128 beniguet Mon, 22 Sep 2008 09:24:43 +0000 http://blog.polarrose.com/?p=75#comment-109128 That's all very well. How come, however, that for the same person (say Barack Obama), there can be numerous stacks, with the same name and the same face, and sometimes at least one common photo, and they don't collapse in one single stack ? In one same stack the algorithm properly finds very different photos of the same person. I do not really understand the rule here. Could someone please explain this a litlle more ? Thanks in advance. Ben That’s all very well.

Having an anonymous option at the point of naming is an interesting idea, we'll give it some thought! @cougarten: Good point. Other than the fact that roses are red for people named by the Polarbot (same as if any user added a name), we are not notifying at the moment. Being notified when the Polarbot finds pictures of you is probably a good thing to add also. @foxops: Only on pages that users have visited for now. We will deploy a simple spider soon that actually checks more pages, more on that later...

Is there a spider that is focusing on certain sites or is it going off pics that plugin users encounter? I really hope it uses both methods, I'd love to see "Polarbot" in my apache logs :) So how is Polarbot finding these pics?
