Tag You're It - Again
Just a quick note with my thoughts on tagging. When I set up my Flickr account and uploaded photos, I entered tags - or labels - for the photos. This will allow others (and me) to search my account for key words. Everyone should know how we enjoy going to Cape Hatteras and I always take a ton of photos. I could tag these photos and group them into sections and it makes them easier to find. I think tagging is a service you provide to your users/customers to assist them with viewing your site. Libraries could use tags for their special interest groups and events such as Teen Groups, with permission, of course. What a quick and easy way to get publicity on the programs your library is hosting.

I'm just now investigating Flickr. I'll be curious to see how photos are tagged beyond the obvious...like that picture on my blog of Lily 'laughing'. I guess the tags for that would be 'cat' and 'laughing'--or 'laughing cat'?
How would someone looking for a goofy cat picture find that specific one?
