Right, maybe I should have phrased that differently. I was trying to say what you’re saying, but failed.

Upgrading to a broad folksonomy on flickr could add some very cool features though I think. Like, instead of returning pictures with tags by chronological order, you could return them by highest count on that particular tag. Or you could search within your personal folksonomied pictures for tag edits you’ve made, and other people’s and so forth.

An interface for that could be implemented by clicking on a button on a photo’s page that said something like “Add/Modify Your Tags for this Photo” that popped open a DHTML window that was initially populated with what the content creator had in it (and maybe the most popular socially chosen tags as well) and then allowed you to delete and add tags as you saw fit.

You know? I’m doing a really terrible job of explaining this. Maybe I should make some mockups.
