===Photo tagging=== {{See also|Social bookmarking}} Photo tagging is the process that allows users to tag and group photos of an individual or individuals.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-things-you-need-to-know-about-photo-tagging-in-facebook/|title=3 Things You Need To Know About Photo Tagging In Facebook|last=Sieber|first=Tina|date=2012-06-13|newspaper=MakeUseOf|access-date=2016-10-22}}</ref> With facial recognition software tagging photos can become quicker and easier; the more tagging done of an individual the more accurate the software can be. This type of software is currently in use on Facebook.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/help/122175507864081|title=How does Facebook suggest tags? {{!}} Facebook Help Center {{!}} Facebook|website=www.facebook.com|access-date=2016-10-22}}</ref> Photo tagging is a way of labeling photos so that viewers can know who is who in the picture. On most online photo sharing sites such as [[Facebook]], a tag can also be used as a link that when clicked will take you to the person's profile that was tagged. Most of the time photos can only be tagged by the user to uploads the photo but on some sites photos can be tagged by other users as well. These tags can be searched for across the entire Internet, on separate websites or in private data bases. They can be used for [[crowdsourced]] classification (see the section on [[#Image classification|image classification]]) but can also play a socio-cultural role in that they can establish [[neologism]]s, [[Internet meme]]s, [[snowclone]]s, [[slogan]]s, [[catch phrase]]s, shared vocabularies and categorizations as well as producing comedic twists, [[Contextualization (sociolinguistics)|context]]s and [[Point of view (philosophy)|perspectives]] of the presented images, and hence often play a significant role in the [[community building]] and [[identity formation]] of and the [[entertainment]] in [[online communities]] that allow the creation of broad folksonomies.
