Jessamyn West: Flickr, Tagging, and the F-Word
Gave a great introduction to Flickr
Some highlights:
– other people can add tags to your pictures (if you allow them to do that)
– Tags – click the word, you get your tagged pictures
– Tags – click on the globe by the tag word, and you get everyone’s tagged pictures
– Explained the coolness of Hot Tags – last 24 hours, last week – shows what’s going on
