Facebook is testing a new feature that allows users to tag friends with a word and phrase that describes their personality or interests, much like LinkedIn's ability to tag users with job-related terms.
Facebook is testing a new feature that allows users to tag friends with a word and phrase that describes their personality or interests, much like LinkedIn’s ability to tag users with job-related terms.
“We’re testing a new feature called profile tags,” a spokesperson told Mashable. “Created by a small team as part of a Facebook hackathon, profile tags are a creative tool that lets you and your friends add tags to your profile to highlight the things that describe you and what you’re into. You can control what tags are shown on your own profile.”
How does the feature work? A user can visit a friend’s profile and tag them with a word, phrase, or even an emoji. Users are then notified of the tag and can either approve or decline it. Tags that are approved will show up publicly on a person’s profile page, and they’ll appear in order of how many Likes they receive by others.
The feature may or may not ever be rolled out to the greater public.
