Tags are an interesting tool. While I do think it makes our lives easier, they can be a pain to use and when you're feeling lazy... it is easy to get behind. If you look at my Flickr account, you can see that it is mostly librarian related. I opened up this Flickr account as a tool for a group project during my graduate studies. It served it's purpose for us because it gave us a place to store our images for our website.
Before that class, I was a heavy Flickr fan. I have a personal account tagged to only me. In fact, people cannot view the account unless I grant them access to it. I have decided to do this because I want my personal life to remain separate from my professional life.
I do believe using labels and tags are a great organizational tool and a good way to pick up readers. Readers and viewers can find exactly what they are looking for through tags. It is also a good way to make online friends. I say this because Flickr is a social website just like facebook. It is great way to connect and share your art with people who have the same interest.
