Oh Facebook, just when I didn’t think you could get any better at encouraging interaction on your site:

Face recognition. Finding faces that aren’t already tagged. Presenting them, ready-to-tag, to the owner. This is pure genius for getting people to participate.

Cool little feature that I believe is unique to Break’s video service – in that I haven’t seen it anywhere else yet.

Every video has a “play this next” ticker that scrolls through related videos while the current one is playing. On hover, it displays a preview of the related video and once clicked it changes to an “up next” (in a queuing kind of way).

Innovation in stuff that’s as normal (apply air quotes) as online video streaming is getting more and more rare, so it’s nice to see Break implementing things that aren’t just other sites’ features rehashed.
