Everyone on
Facebook knows that other people can post photos of you,
"tagged" with your name.
Result: the whole world can see you in an embarrassing moment, often involving alcohol, or during an awkward "big hair/tight pants" phase from the 1980s. Did you really think that perm looked good on you?
Uggh!
Wisk Detergent Helps OutSo the makers of Wisk detergent have just released a Facebook app that helps you to erase dumb or drunken photos, like that time you danced with a beer bottle on your head. It's called
"Wisk-it." Good for ring around the collar or silly photos.
Start with a SearchYou search for photos tagged with your name. I ran a search and found one of me playing keyboard with a rock band about 15 years ago. Even though I have a mullet haircut, I like the picture, as it makes me less of a "geek" than I normally am. So I'll keep it.
But other photos may not be so kind. Those are the ones you want to un-tag.
Don't like the photo? If you don't like the photo, click a button that asks the poster to remove it. Wisk says most people will do that if asked. However, you cannot physically remove a photo that someone posted...without a court order.
If they won't remove it, you can at least "untag" your name so that it no longer pops up on your Facebook page.
