Google+ knows who you Are!

As the walls of privacy continue to fall down, Google+ has now uploaded a capability that mimics Facebook's facial recognition feature that caused many to worry about how much FB really knew about them. But looks like Google+ is continuing to follow FB's footpath by rolling out its own facial recognition tool - key differentiatior: opt in only requirements now satisfy those who were previously concerned about their privacy being invaded and even suggest certain photo tags based on who the consumer interacts with within their "circles". It seems that even though Google+ didnt create this idea from scratch they may be hitting the mark with customized on/off options. why not let customers choose and manage their own preferences?
