Your tagging help continues to be appreciated and just do 'em as you feel. And if you have any specific photos you'd like me to tag, just let me know! Oooh GTA IV, exciting times. I read EGM's coverage of it and I like how they're going "back to basics" on some things and refining mechanics while overall striving to provide a better game experience. Re: API integration, I don't think that's likely soon. It seems like the need/interest in will continue rising as time passes, tho, and perhaps some major shift will make it a lot more evidently important — not unlike how WindLight increased the value of taking snapshots & postcards. @Veyron: HAHAHAH OMG, yes, someone must do that! What a gap in the marketplace RIGHT THERE! Camping chair operators, are you hearing this? I know that there's been camping chair variations that animate your avatar to look more lively, but actually contributing to our knowledge economy = teh win. @Dedric: No worries and no rush!

It seems everyone is tagging with the signature that blog hud puts on every photo - "take by dedric mauriac at [sim name] [x, y, z]". This is one of the many times I wish that blog hud logo didn't appear in my pictures. Do you think SL will ever have API integration with a few of the popular blogs? It is a complex process to blog from within SL at the moment and dependent on too many 3rd party services. Argh, I started trying out the tagCow service.

Force campers to sit while doing dumb little things in world to collect real money for the camping chair creator. Hmmm, maybe I need to patent this. :) -Veyron Now what might be interesting for the camping chairs would be an interface to the Amazon's Mechanical Turk.

I'll have to look into this tagging service myself. As far as being a super star, I really just take a look at your pictures a few at a time and tag at will. I'm still very far behind in the SL3B photos still. I doubt I'll ever catch up to the current photos as you take way too many. My favorites are when I find pictures of me, friends I know, or simply things that interest me. I believe I could probably setup something to integrate the flickr API with SL to alow folks to drop by and tag photos. It is just a matter of finding the time. With GTA around the corner, I doubt I'll be in SL much for a while. Thanks for the mention Torley. I'll have to look into this tagging service myself.
