About: A photo upload, share and tagging site.

Upload and tag photos using most popular tags from cloud.
Create a profile and join groups (also share urls in group posts).

Notes: Owned by Yahoo. One of the first sites to employ tags.

“The information you get [through tags] is always going to be somewhat imperfect and fuzzy,” says Joshua Schachter, the creator of Delicious. “But a bunch of people doing ‘okay’ tagging may actually have a higher net value than an authoritative organization telling you how information should be organized.” (June 2005)
