Phone Tags and Tags Rule!
Yesterday, a team from BBC Radio showed how it allowed listeners to "tag" songs using their cell phones - thanks to Phonetags - and they pointed out how this information helps to organize songs in different ways -- suggesting new playlists for DJs, but also helping people find other songs, albums, or shows of interest.

In their own words: With Phonetags you can 'bookmark' any song you hear on BBC 6 Music. Just text X to 64046 when you hear the song. Then rate, tag and share your songs online.
Tags rule!.
Check out yesterday's post in Picturephoning on a word generator, Spell with flickr, that uses tagged photos from flickr
And amaztype where you type in a word and the result will be (clickable) cover art from Amazon.
