When I first read this week's assignment about tagging, my first thought was of the popular website, Facebook. Users tag photographs all the time from other users' profiles and place them in their own profile. So it is highly ironic that, a Facebook tagger myself, had not a clue what the tagging in this week's assignment was about. At first the process almost seemed like plagiarism (except that it was approved by a teacher!), with taking a website and all. When you tag a picture from a friend's Facebook page, aren't you taking someone else's work? But then, of course, appropriate credit is given. All in all, tagging is a very efficient and simple way of finding more information on topics.
