I actually discovered Flickr because of tagging. Being a part of Yahoo, if you do an image search on yahoo, your results will include a lot of Flickr images. So in my random searches for pictures of my little buddy Tai Shan, I would often come across Flickr photos that had been tagged with "Tai Shan" or "panda", etc.
After a while I began exploring the site further and discovered there was a whole group (several actually) devoted to pandas. One in particular had lots and lots of info, daily updates, daily pictures and scaps from panda cams, videos...and I became hooked!
Then I started sharing my own photos. That's where I learned about tagging and how it helps others find your pictures. You can find just about anything on there. Type in any random word or theme and you're bound to come up with a match.
It's really such a nice place to share and comment on other's photos too. There are groups on there for just about anything. It's quite a community. I love it.
