In the endless battle of too many photos vs. too little time a program was born. This program can identify objects, places, colors, and even people within the photos that are given to it. After each photo is analyzed a selection of possible tags are given to the user for final approval. Select as many or as few as you think describe the scene or add your own. With the help of online users everywhere this tool will learn and be able to zero in on the exact image information that a real person would add for the image. I’ve tried it out with a number of photos and it does a pretty good job. I think if people do a good job teaching the software whats what it’s going to be a great tool. I can see Google or Flickr going this route someday.
