Flickr was tag spammed
photos tagged as "night"
a dog and its tags.
Flickr was tag spammed constantly - see discussions here and here.
Turns out tag spamming on Flickr can be done unintentionally - Flickr upload form allows to group tag up to 6 photos, and Flickr Uploadr upload a batch of photos tagged with same tag. Simple interface change would cut this alot! Just let people to tag each photo individually. Don't even need to introduce folksonomy tagging to see the difference.
Another interesting thought on tagging. del.icio.us author tells us us that tagging is good when people tag other's things for themself, and can be misused when used by publishers and distrubutors. He votes against automatic tagging, and I suspect against bulk tagging as well.
Previously, I wrote about del.icio.us spammed, but spammers had to break del.icio.us captcha there.
