Learn How To Use Flickr Tags

Flickr is an online photo management and sharing tool. You can add notes and tags to each photo, other people can add their comments, you can invite friends and family to view your photos, form private or public groups, share comments, organize all your photos with their wicked cool Organizer, and lots more cool stuff. I think that one of the best thing about Flickr has to be the ability to find and sort images using Flickr tags.

What are Flickr tags? Quite simply, Flickr tags are a way to organize your images. That's it, nothing fancy. For instance, if you have uploaded a photo of dancing cats, you will probably want to categorize that photo as "dancing cats". That way other people looking for dancing cats can find your image.

You'll definitely want to check out the Flickr Tags main page. Here's where you'll find the Flickr Most Popular Tags, hot tags in the past 24 hours, and hot tags in the last week.
