What is claimed is: 1. A method, including: receiving, at a processor, an indication of an object that has been automatically detected from visual data, wherein the object includes a face; receiving, at the processor, a tag associated with the object; and using the processor to indicate the tag with the visual data in a display at least in part by displaying the tag in proximity to the object in the visual data. 2. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the association between the tag and the object is indicated. 3. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein indicating includes displaying a tag indicator with the visual data. 4. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein indicating includes displaying a tag indicator with the visual data, wherein the tag indicator includes a graphic. 5. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein indicating includes displaying a tag indicator with the visual data, wherein the tag indicator includes text. 6. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein indicating includes displaying a tag indicator with the visual data, wherein the tag indicator is displayed selectively. 7. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the association between the tag and the object is indicated at least in part by displaying a tag indicator in proximity to the object. 8. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein placement of a tag indicator is based at least in part on a location of an object that has been detected from the visual data. 9. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein placement of a tag indicator is based at least in part on a location of another tag indicator. 10. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein placement of a tag indicator is user controlled. 11.

A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for: receiving an indication of an object that has been automatically detected from visual data, wherein the object includes a face; receiving a tag associated with the object; and indicating the tag with the visual data in a display at least in part by displaying the tag in proximity to the object in the visual data. 26. A computer program product as recited in claim 25, wherein placement of a tag indicator is based at least in part on a location of an object that has been detected from the visual data. 27. A computer program product as recited in claim 25, the computer program product further comprising computer instructions for indicating another tag associated with the object. 28. A computer program product as recited in claim 25, wherein indicating includes displaying a tag indicator in response to user input. 29. A system, including: a processor; and a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to: receive an indication of an object that has been automatically detected from visual data, wherein the object includes a face; receive a tag associated with the object; and indicate the tag with the visual data in a display at least in part by displaying the tag in proximity to the object in the visual data.
