I'm in production on this one. Pondering some editing ... when you give a punch line both verbally and visually -- do you give both at the same time or do a one -two.

Interesting physical demonstration of tagging. This would be great on a keynote slide to explain folksonomy.

Yes, I'm using it on a screencast I'm doing on tagging/socialbookmarking and knowledge management for small nonprofits.
I'm hitting a big wall with the screencast in that I want to do some story telling that isn't about looking at computer software and trying to find the best way to integrate visuals and real life video. My problem is that Camtasia editor isn't good for that -- or I'm not not experienced in video editing. I'm crazed over this ... any words of advice?

Beth - I don't use Camtasia (yet?) so I guess I can't specifically answer that question. One idea that I tried to explain the value of tagging to a mostly offline group was to correlate tag clusters with mind mapping for creative brainstorming.
Pick a tag - say "love" and search it in flickr.
www.flickr.com/photos/tags/love/
that is the start of the diagram. Clusters appear as:
family/cute/baby
couple/kiss/wedding
girl/woman/man
red/heart/valentine
Extend the mind map by searching for each of those tags and finding the resulting clusters. Etc.
While I am not a film maker it seems to me those would be good visuals if shown in series.
Or just hire David Hasselhoff and everyone will love the video regardless.
Good luck with your video and hopefully my comments aren't too random and off topic!

Very helpful! My problem was technical and I had the content and visuals - I did it with sharpies. I figured out a way to do it ... I'm still in production, but hopefully the screencast will be out in day or so.

One exercise I did in a face-to-face training - was to have people use paper tags and write three words that described their passions - and then find someone in the room with a similar tag and have a conversation about the topic. -- with the idea that the definition of tags is that they connect people with other people who share their interests ...

Hey - very nice visual metaphor. Duly marked as a favourite.
I used the thumbnail version (credited and linked back) in a blog entry on tagging - hope this is okay.
Cheers.

Your photo here was just the thing to explain the basics of tags. I've linked to this post from a discussion of introducing them at a site I use! Thanks for the great visual!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for CC licensing it.
Unfortunately, I know it was exactly what I was looking for because I found it here first:
