Facebook has a feature that lets users tag their friends and Facebookers in photos. The next question is, “what’s tagging?” Tagging is a term used when a Facebook user has identified a person in their uploaded photos. It also adds an active link to that person’s page. The person’s name will also be highlighted below the image. For example, if someone is interested in seeing more photos of a person, they can click on the photo and it will show other images linked by Facebook users. Anyone can tag a person even if they are not Facebook friends. The purpose of this function is to view more pictures of a person that others have posted. MySpace has also added this function recently.
MySpace Music has a music page called, MySpace Secret Shows. They actually put on shows that are, well, secret. The last ’secret’ show was Feb. 16th in New Orleans. The show featured hip hop artists, Lil Wayne and Mike Jones. Nearly 400 MySpacers attended the event, which was during the NBA All-Star weekend in New Orleans. To find out more about secret shows, the profile has to be added to one’s MySpace friends. MySpace Secret Shows are only advertised on MySpace and will post frequent updates.

Facebook now has an application called iLike, where you can add music and videos to your profile page. You can also dedicate songs to your friends and see who’s going to certain concerts. It is also similar to MySpace Music in the way that you can become friends with music artists and get more information about them. Musicians who create a page can get details on their fans’ stats and upload their music and events. There are over six thousand Facebook users who have added this application. Pretty cool.
*Currently waiting for response from Facebook in regards to the application history.
