FaceTaggr (Retro Awesome)

Tired of using features that are already built in to Flickr? Longing for 2008? Want to tag your friends with machine tags anyways, because you're ready to make your life a pain to spite the flickr (or was it cut of the nose to spite the face)?

Then this is for you.

Oh, what is this?

Yahoo Open Hack Day ‘08 took place while I was at Y! SNV, and although employees & interns aren’t supposed to produce a hack, I did it anyways (take that!). It’s nothing big, I wrote a greasemonkey script that will add a list of your contacts on a flickr photo page. When you click on the person’s name, a machine tag of their flickr username will be added to the photo. I call it facetaggr.

You need greasemonkey, and this script file.

The list of friends is not always there, but when you click 'Add Tag', you can expand it to see your contacts.

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

What would it take to mod your script to keep the list of contacts but upon click add them as "a person" to the picture (the new flickr feature). That would save from having to type their names over and over and over.
In an ideal world, the list would be topped by the people you most add to your pics...
Anyway, good job!

You'd have to find the JS calls in the page's JavaScript that add the person tags. Don't really feel like doing that, but go ahead if you've got time to kill :-D
