Last month, fellow refacer Rich sent me this Tag your Guildmates tagging picture for Facebook (and MySpace). It allows World of Warcraft fans to tag their friends as the types of players you encounter in this online RPG.
Are you into Where’s Waldo/Wally? Then this new “tag your friends” series is something for you. Here’s a bunch of different photos of crowds in which you can tag yourself and your friends. Of course, none of you were really there but with most of the heads in the pictures so small and unidentifiable, the joke is obvious.

If you’re a buccaneers on Facebook, then here’s a golden tip! A humorous language option called English (Pirate) turns your inbox into a “Bottle o’ messages” and shows the dates of upcoming “Grog fests” (instead of birthdays).
