    How can you Tag people on Facebook without being friends?
    I wondered if anybody knows of any Facebook app or setting where you can tag people on Facebook but without submitting a 'Friends Request'.

    Reason being, I want to compile a list of persons I used to know at my old school and some of them I do not like but just want to be on a visible list.

    Any ideas?

    It's actually easier than you think. When you're in Facebook and you being tagging and click the photo, a search box comes up. If you type in the person you want to tag (ex: John Smith) and you have no friends named John Smith, you aren't able to select a person. However, if you simply just click tag anyway, it will create a tag of that person that doesn't link to anyone. When you hover over that person, it will just show the text of the person's name. It's a very valuable tool if you have a picture full of people you aren't friends with as someone who is a mutual friend of both of you might come by and tag that person for you.

    Hope that helps.

    You can't "tag" someone on Facebook unless they are on your friends list.
