Personal style bloggers are about to get some serious competition from personal styleInstagrammers — thanks to the Facebook-owned photo app's new tagging technology, which was introduced yesterday.
Tagging an Instagram shot is pretty much like tagging a Facebook photo — you @tag your friend, and he or she will receive a notification, Mashable reports.
One drawback: You can't untag yourself! photos are added to Instagram's new "Photos of You" section, and you can adjust your settings so pictures don't appear publicly until you approve them.
Facebook hopes people will also use the feature to tag what they're wearing — kind of like a super-micro version of personal style blogging. Which means, if this is successful, in a year or so brands could be hiring "Instagram Ambassadors" to take photos of themselves swanning around in designer goods.
Photos of You will go public on profiles on May 16th. You can check it out by upgrading to version 3.5 of Instagram in Apple's App Store or on Google Play.
