A new update to the Instagram app will let you and your friends tag each other in photos.

Instagram - the photo sharing service now owned by Facebook - lets users apply creative and often retro photographic effects on their images before uploading them to share online.

But the thing is that whenver you wanted to alert someone to a photo they were in, or link their profile to an image, you had to manually '@' them in the commenting area or in the caption.

It would also create clutter at the bottom of photos, depending on how many people or things you're adding.

The '@' technique, however, is really Twitter's thing and not primarily Facebook's (though you can use it in there as well).

So now with the relase of the latest Instagram app, you can tap on the image to tag your friends, or businesses with accounts.

Worried about what kinds of things Facebook Graph Search will dig up? Look no further than the Tumblr account called “Actual Facebook Graph Searches.”

The blog collects screenshots of some of the most bizarre search results you can get using the ill-named search tool.

Tom Scott, the creator, says he compiled the search results to show just how ridiculous the search results can be.

He doesn't just post screen shots of just any search results – he goes for “amusingly contradictory things.”

As you can tell by some of the images posted below, he nails the essence of it exactly.

Instagram is backstroking out of stormy waters after it botched a proposed change to its privacy policy and terms of service.

Users were outraged earlier this week after the photo sharing service – recently acquired by Facebook – gave users a heads up about major changes.

Instagram's very wordy terms of service seemed like the company could soon sub-license and sell photos, and use the images in advertising.

According to Bing.ca searches, 2012 was a year of celebrity fascination, baby fever and heartbreak. Last year Canadians were “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” putting Kim Kardashian one up on homegrown sensation Justin Bieber. In 2012 Bieber came out on top, securing the most-searched celebrity spot. From the celebrity grind, to scandals and one hit wonders, Bing captured 2012 through the searches that mark the year’s most fascinating people, sensations and moments in time. 

To coincide with the release of  U.S. search results for Bing.com, here are top search results for Bing.ca based on Canadian queries. The results detail Canada’s top 10 most searched people, celebrity couples, viral videos and consumer electronics. 

Critics are crying foul after men in Saudi Arabia began receiving unwanted text messages about women’s international whereabouts.

In Saudi Arabia, every woman needs to have a male ‘guardian.’ The guardian is traditionally a woman’s father, husband or brother.

And since 2010, the government has had an opt-in program for these “guardians” to receive a text message whenever a woman, of whom they’re a guardian, leaves the country.

Should the government be regulating companies to avoid privacy issues? Google doesn't think so – and it just told the Canadian government that federal policymakers wouldn't be able to keep up, anyway.

Facebook is going to let advertising companies bid on your Internet browsing history, a new report suggests.

According to an article from Blooomberg, the world’s largest social network is set to launch Facebook exchange in the next few weeks.

Parents wondering what their kids are up to on the computer will be able to receive weekly reports from Windows 8, detailing their every move.

Ideally, a child’s computer (or the one they use most often) is placed in an open area of the family home. That way, parents can easily look over their son/daughter’s shoulder to see what they’re up to.

But that presents a few problems. 1) With busy lives, parents aren’t always around when kids are on the computer. 2) Desktops are becoming less common, with laptops and tablets becoming more popular.

How safe is your Facebook account? A new Consumer Survey report shows that millions of people have failed to change their privacy settings.

It appears that handing over your driver’s licence isn’t enough to prove your name and age to a bouncer at a bar or club anymore.

Bouncers are reportedly asking partygoers to hand over their smartphone logged in to their Facebook account so that the age – and name – can be verified.
