I keep on top of things when it comes to my Facebook, though, for that very reason. I am constantly monitoring what people are saying on my wall, what posts I'm tagged in, and what pictures I'm tagged in then if I feel they are unnecessary, I untag myself from them. It's not that I look bad in them or I'm embarrassed by what I'm doing--I don't need to be tagged in the 10 pictures all taken at the same times showing the same scene just on different cameras by different photographers. I also try and keep the less-than-professional shots to a minimum (I don't get rid of all of them though, I'm not ashamed!).
A few weeks back I went to a 1940s Victory Rally as a fundraiser for my city's historical society with a big group of friends, all of which had cameras and were constantly snapping the same group shots over and over. Some I untagged myself from... like this one, which is blurry and showcases my poor posture.
Untagging has become increasingly difficult as of late! Here is everything I had to go through to untag myself...
First I had to click "Report/Remove Tag" to begin the process. This always makes me feel really bad because it sounds really harsh. I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble! I just don't like this picture!
Thankfully Facebook understands how nervous I was and they quickly gave me the choice of just simply untagging the photo without creating drama.
I thought I was done...
Now I need to fill out a survey about what has just happened.
I don't want to just come right out and say I'm vain but come on... I just want this process to be over with!
It's definitely NOT important. I just don't want to be tagged in it. Simple as that.
And finally, I'm done. I just wanted to untag a photo of myself and instead of a 1 second click, I just had to fill out a questionaire and waste 2 minutes of my life.
Any one else annoyed by this and think it's a little excessive?
