37927957
Update: if I type the URL in by hand, it works. The problem appears to be with the way links are generated in the Facebook app.
When one of my facebook friends gets a notification that I have tagged a third party (mutual friend on FB), the link points to the "you" page of a strange ID, which I assume is a reference to the third party's FB identity. Clicking on this link gives the error I reported, presumably because the third party is not a Polar Rose user and you defaulted him to private (which is a Good Thing). Unfortunately this means that nobody, not even mutual friends, can get to the photo I tagged from my Facebook page, even though it is publicly visible on Flickr and through my own Polar Rose photostream. Since most (*cough*all*cough*) of my Facebook friends are not yet Polar Rose users, this quite effectively breaks your FB app.
Instead of linking to the third party's "you" page (which you are right to block, as it is effectively a search on that person's identity), maybe the FB app should link directly to the photo, or to the page of my photostream that it appears on, or even just to my PR homepage. The important thing is that the link given by the FB app should do _something_.-

Naming process could be smoother, more pleasant.Naming multiple people is time-consuming, especially since I have a lot of crowd scenes and am clicking "skip" more often than entering data. Some suggestions for making this process smoother:
1. It takes around five seconds for the next face to load after clicking "skip" in the naming window. Can this be shortened, say by loading the next face in the background?
2. Even better, could you show me multiple detected faces at once? Sorted by number of similar faces? That way, I can home in quickly on important people.
3. Sorting of the faces presented could be improved - perhaps weighted towards foreground (i.e. large) faces, so I spend less time skipping passers-by.
4. After the naming window closes, there is a delay during which the page data is refreshed, typically several seconds. During this time, clicking on another face does nothing. Could the refresh be done asynchronously? -

I get this popup regularly, but in an additional twist it comes up underneath my firefox and I can't raise it. It does however steal keyboard/mouse focus on occasion, under which circumstances I can hit ESC to kill the popup.
