zonetaggery
so i signed up to participate in this photo-sharing-location-web-2.0 trial, whereby they replace my beloved PEBL with a nokia N80, in order to give me a phone with a 3mp camera that automatically uploads whatever pictures i take with it to flickr. and then not only that, it will creepily deduce where i am via the nearest cellphone tower, and suggest tags for that photo based on other tags people have used in that location.
ZoneTag’s "suggested tags" give you a quick way to associate images with tags. ZoneTag displays tags that it thinks are relevant to this specific image, contextually-based on past tags from you and your friends (and sometimes other public ZoneTag tags).
kind of cool, but on the other hand, is there really a point to this? is it a little too meta? or twiddly?
a lot of the first week was spent just dealing with the new phone: getting used to the relative brickliness of the larger size, and reacclimating to nokia UI from motorola UI. and then there was that issue where it kept running down the battery every three hours or so.
i honestly don’t know if i’m taking better pictures now, but i’m certainly taking more.
with abandon. hopefully not without discretion.
