Tagged Photo to Profile Picture

Facebook recently launched a nifty little feature that I missed until they wrote about it on their own Facebook blog. Basically, as the photo on the right shows, you can take any photo in which you’ve been tagged and instantly crop it and set it as your profile picture. So when you’re tagged in a batch of party photos by your friends and you see a great looking photo of yourself smushed in between two random people you don’t ever remember meeting, no worries! Instead of saving the photo to your hard drive, opening up an image editing software program and cropping the photo, then reuploading the photo to Facebook, you can just point and click and viola!
I know quite a few people who will be putting this feature to good use, myself included. I seem to change my profile picture weekly and frankly, I don’t have the best computer on the block. Every time I have to open up Photoshop to crop another photo, it slows my computer down for a few hours and leaves me frustrated and annoyed. Now, thanks to Facebook, I can constantly change my profile image AND still have plenty of time leftover to procrastinate by stalking all of my friends. It’s win-win for everybody!
