EDIT: 28th June 2006. Had I known how popular Cameltagging was going to be. (Or how popular it was going to be in comparison to all my other photos,) I would have chosen a photo in which I looked considerably thinner.
Students of Desert-Trekking take note: This is how a gentleman rides a camel. Until the sun comes up and the whole Indiana Saunders thing gets a bit old, whereupon the seasoned traveller dons a blue hoody and tries to maintain fluid levels
About the tags:
This is all because of Dan's post here about tripletags:
geobloggers.blogspot.com/2006/01/advanced-tagging-and-tri...
Before Dan went off to become Pirate King of Flickr (Yaaaar!) he'd often regale us with tales of this wacky-ass geotagging idea he'd come up with. 'Yawn!' we'd say, and 'Get on with finishing the Robbie Williams site.'
The details are relatively unimportant. What is important is that in every paradigmic shift in technology, there should always be someone standing at the back, quietly taking the piss.
Please note also the first documented use of the titfertag - combining the best of social-software and cockney rhyming slang

But camels have two humps. You should change that to something like:
ungulate:humpcount=1

Dammit! You're right. Those were dromedarys!
I shall immediately amend my tags to include your bold new move. - it would be a shame to marr a glorious new era of social software through incorrect taxonomy.

I think I may start tagging many of my photos with a "humpcount" -- regardless of whether they contain camels. :)
Loving it.

Tripletags look very interesting, I just stumbled on this. So much more "value" than a simple keyword. Off to research this...

Hmm, many of my photos contain camels. I need to implement this right away!
