Facebook made that behaviour normal

What, before Facebook you never showed up in your friends' photo album? Or your friends just never let anyone see their photo album? Because I know neither of those were true for me.

My friends' photo albums weren't online or had low pagerank or were otherwise unlikely to return anything for a search of my name.

Most people won't tag you if you don't have an account, and I don't think you will show up in a search even if tagged, if you don't have an account.
