Instatag, now on

If you’re a serial Instagram-er, you probably noticed the nifty new option the guys behind the app have launched. You can now go Facebook-style and tag your friends on photos. There’s a new section called Photos of You, where all the pictures tagged of you will show up. Of course, like Facebook, you have control over those embarrassing pictures friends tag of you: You can change your settings to pre-approve the photos before they go on your profile. Time to tag away.
