Stewart Butterfield on Flickr
Stewart is showing his Flickr page.
55% of their users came to Flickr via blogs that were pointing to Flickr pages.
He is showing how to search and add metadata. The process of adding metadata is "collaborative and social," because Flickr can bring together commonality through your network of contacts or common metatags. He also is showing how you can add tags to photos of your contacts.
Stewart has 400 contacts.
The ability to tag needs to be social - the failure of current machine translation shows that automated tagging has a long way to go.
Now he’s showing the top tags on Flickr and then is drilling in on tags associated with India.
