Thing 21 Tags and Flickr

Tags are used to organize your photos under common keywords. By tagging your photos folks who have common interests can view your photos. Flickr creates a photographic community by enabling people with similar interests to stay in contact. Flickr lets you to do many different things with your photos such as make business cards, photo calendars, cards, and photo books. You can add comments, descriptions, and tags to your photos.

I also read an article giving examples of how libraries can use Flickr to their advantage. They can highlight new materials, create virtual tours, promote teens, and share the librarie's history.
