The Wonderful World of Tagging

This was an easy assignment this week. Lisa and I created a flickr account after the Dairy Festival so we could share all our photos with the folks at work. I don't think some of them believed we were serious about a dairy festival! Take a look! I'm still amazed how many sites/applications are owned by the same few companies. I had no idea that Flickr was part of Yahoo.

I think tagging is pretty cool. I can't wait to explore PennTags. That's definitely interesting. And I love that Wikipedia uses the term metadata.

I used Del.icio.us for classes before so I was already pretty familiar with it. I set up a bloglines account and had my Del.icio.us stuff go there. It's neat to be able to look at what other people have bookmarked. I can't wait til we get to Week 5 and Social Cataloging. I hate that I'm going to miss the facilitated session this Friday. We're going to be talking about some cool stuff like Skype and Google Docs.

Hey - sure enjoyed the Dairy Festival photos! Too bad the "Jesus Rains" sign didn't show up this year. ;o) I wonder how "Dairy Festival Queen" looks on a resume, anyway?
