Introducing Flickr Search Tagging!

It’s a little utility that enables a couple of things:

  1. Let’s you to propose tags for images that don’t belong to you on Flickr. Contributing tags if you want to help describe the image is often not possible, unless: you’re the owner, you’re a contact of the owner, or the person has allowed very permissive tagging rights.
  2. Keeps your search queries around the tagging area. Queries are valuable, because you as a user took the time to contribute that text at some point. Now you can leverage that same text when you want to tag an image.
  3. Tag your images with the proposed tags, or delete the proposed tags.
