Image Tagging Software

I hate the reference to 'facebook' style image tagging since it implies they invented the idea, but we have to live with the way things are developing. Hopefully they will not be patenting this simple process since it has been in use on sites long before they existed.

Sample scripts ... still need to confirm licencing.

Both use jQuery which is quite nice as I already have that running. Just need to have aplay with them now ...
