It appears that “Patti Beery” who is one of the people that “Liked” the pic, tagged Donald Beery in the picture.

How he did it? When you type one of your friends names, it can show up as a link, similar to the @twittername on twitter. This then “alerts” that person, a form of “tagging”
Why? I think this person was trying to show his friend something on your page or that photo. So not a bad thing. Most of us would not click that link as it means nothing to us.
Hope that helps! Love the use of photos on your page.. you distracted me for a few I will stop in

duh on me….i didnt think of the tagging possibility…i dont get much tagging , since i dont have many people in the pictures….we did lots of people pictures once and it was wildly popular…. they shared their pictures a whole lot!!! i did it at an event and go so many neat family and friend groups and put it in an album….. @kathleenrollins p.s. i love hearing any and all new ideas for my page….glad you looked….

A good use of a tag might be, for example, I see something in one of your pictures that I think one of my friends might like to see or be interested in, so I tag him by commenting with a “@myfriend” in the comments to bring it to his attention.
Technically its not “tagging” in the common usage of the term, but IMHO its still tagging.
