Last week, I added a tags feature to Fotothing – a fairly trivial task in itself, but something I’d been putting off doing for a long time.

People seem to like it. 🙂

Within a couple of hours, there were about 4000 entries in the tags table on the database, as people went back and tagged their old photos. With a little bit of lateral thinking, I was able to extract related tags and implement a search facility. It’s now a very useable and surprisingly accurate way to search for photos.

Some of my favourites so far:

* Tulip
* Green
* Sunset
* Cat

Now to implement RSS feeds and del.icio.us/technorati/flickr integration. 😉
