Masssive photo tagging of Glastonbury World Cup crowd underway
As I write this, over 2,500 people have already been tagged so far on Glastotag (for Orange Uk) is asking people to tag themselves, and/or their mates in the crowd via Facebook Connect.
Aiming for the record of ‘Most people tagged in an online photo’, the site is well on the way to reaching it's aim of becoming most tagged online image ever. An audacious idea, and a simple execution of social creativity.
The panoramic photograph captured the 70,000 odd fans who gathered to watch the England vs Slovenia World Cup match at Glastonbury over the weekend.
With an incredibly high resolution (1.3 giga-pixels) the image caputes even the most minute details so that all members of the crowd are distinctly recognizable. A fact enabled by the ability to zoom right into the image.
The site was built by London-based agency Poke and is surely one of the most epic and creative uses of the popular facebook tag feature since Ikea's use of the feature for their Facebook Showroom, last year.
