Personal pictures are all left untagged in one large untitled folder. Thank god there are some people out there who would rather tag and categorize files than see sunlight or consume food on any given day. I'm just worried about the day when categorization meets EEG machines and websites are tagging my thoughts into various terrifying bins. Admittedly, I am the worst at tagging anything.

Given all the photos on the web, I guess it's even too big a task for Chris and his buddy's. So ultimately it will only work, if the tagging is done automatically. For geo tags (and newly taken pics), GPS phones can do that. For name tags, <a href="http://www.myheritage.com/photos-tour-1.php" rel="nofollow">MyHeritage</a> has a semiautomatic feature that helps you to tag people throughout your whole photo collection (which you can import directly from flickr, facebook, etc.) in minutes. It works with face recognition technology and people you have identified once can be tagged automatically in the future. This is automated name tagging, it reliefs us from that "huge task" of manual tagging (for the name part at least) and you can even use the name tags back on flickr via an export feature. Give it a try. People want to use tags, but they don’t want to create them. Given all the photos on the web, I guess it’s even too big a task for Chris and his buddy’s.

There is no need. Android lets you create these applications and sell or give them away regardless of "Apple's approval" to a store. This can easily be achieved by a good 3rd party android app. “get this ball rolling, and spread the “heavy lifting” of geotagging around as Erick puts it, is by having the phone companies themselves make the tagging functionality part of the phone when it ships.”

I think that the statement that $179 down and $55 monthly being the upper limit for this new tech is wrong. While lower priced "smart phone" options like the Android are integral in getting this tagging thing to spread, I don't think that $179 is the limit of what people will pay. I think it is incredibly smart for Nokia to make that purchase. Another thing that is going to get this ball rolling, and spread the "heavy lifting" of geotagging around as Erick puts it, is by having the phone companies themselves make the tagging functionality part of the phone when it ships. That is, while things like BrightKite (which I use and love) are great, there would be a much higher adoption rate if something like that shipped with every handset Nokia or Apple or RIM shipped.
