Furthermore, you are alerted of any tagging and you can choose to untag.

Some of us choose to keep the photos where we look sunburned and drunk tagged. Some of us untag everything that's not pristine. What's nice about Facebook is they make it easy to play it either way.

Wouldn't it be better to stay tagged? If you are tagged you can set privacy settings to restrict views on photos tagged of you. Without that the photos are still visible.

It's more a matter of people being able to go to your profile and click a "view photos" link. Some people don't want to restrict privacy, but they don't want drunken pictures on their profile. In the event that my boss looks at me on Facebook, he won't go searching through friends' photos looking for things I untagged.

Moral of the story, don't add your boss as a friend.
