A New Facebook System that Keep You From Uploading Embarrassing Pictures?

We have all heard of or seen embarrassing pictures that someone put up on a social networking site that they regret putting up. The issue has actual caused some major problems, and has actually led to suicides because of intensive bullying caused by pictures that have been posted that people didn't really mean to post. The people at FaceBook are thinking of making a new type of technology that will allow users to avoid taking bad pictures and accidentally putting them up because they are drunk. The system will use the already existent facial recognition system that FaceBook has developed that is able to tell what your friends look like. They plan to extend the system so it will be able to identity if you or other people are drunk in the picture. If it identifies such happenings then the system will make sure that you actually want to post the picture.

I think that it is really awesome that FaceBook is looking at developing a method of helping people post appropriate pictures on the internet. I think that it will be a needed step forward into the day of social networking. This feature, if followed through on, will prevent a lot of bullying around the nation and will help kids and adults feel more confident about themselves and what they post on the internet. I also think that this system that FaceBook is developing has the chance to make them the most popular social networking site again. Many teenagers have moved onto other social networking sites such as Twitter, but when this technology is implemented on FaceBook their will probably be a revival of the site as parents will push their children to switch back over.

I hope that FaceBook follows through on this idea because, if done well, it has the potential to make the social networking environment a much more friendly place. It will help boost the confidence of many teenagers and adults around the world and it will probably be a big step forward in today's social networking industry.
