Salon photos on Flickr; tagging

Nancy White and Kevin Kelley have posted photos from the salon on Flickr. If you upload your photos to Flickr, please also tag them with evolutionarysalon (i only took a few photos, but will add mine soon).

Flickr is a website that lets you upload and share photos with other people. They have software you can download which makes it very easy to upload many photos at once.

Tagging is an increasingly popular way of categorizing things which lets you make up your own categories (tags) without restricting you to a preset list, and lets you apply as many tags as you like to each photo or other item. We also call this a folksonomy (rather than a taxonomy), because the resulting category system is generated bottom-up, emerging through the collective actions of the people tagging things in ways that make sense to them. Evolution in action!

(An earlier website that does tagging for bookmarks is del.icio.us. Also see http://del.icio.us/tag/evolutionarysalon/)
