Facebook offer reputation management

I'm not sure when this was introduced, but Facebook popped up a message a few days ago asking me to confirm my mobile phone number. I did, then it asked if I wanted SMS alerts, I do.

I've had a few messages so far, messages to tell me someone has replied to a thread or sent me a mail. But by far the most handy for ORM (online reputation management) is the SMS alert for being tagged In a photo.

Because of this, I've now lifted my embargo on not displaying tagged photos on my profile for fear of one one of 'those' Uni pics appearing!

At least now I have a fighting chance of de-tagging myself fairly rapidly. Still Facebook really should impliment a 'ask me first if I can be tagged' policy, but for now, this will do.

If you know me IRL (in real life) or virtually, feel free to add me as a friend and view my 'approved tag photos' ... http://www.facebook.com/richard.mackney

um Facebook would be the last people I trust with my details, and I hate the tagging option. Am I following you yet? if not I'll add you ;)
