Amy Sample Ward, NetSquared. Those not in Haiti can also use the application as it aggregates news and actions to take. The system has three components: The Image Tagger -- Volunteers sort through news photos coming out of Haiti and categorize (tag) them with keywords like “adult, child, alive, deceased.” How can we do that?

How can those notes best be aggregated in one place to be shared with all participants and perhaps with those who didn't attend the event? Take for example, the netsquared conference. You can get rich photo streams when participants a) have and use digital cameras b) understand and use tag based photosharing services like flickr.

NpTech Tag Talk If you couldn't make to the NpTech Conference call this week, there are notes here. Many useful observations and questions raised about how to analyze the tagging data we've collected and how to move from a folksonomy to a taxonomy. I think the NpTech tag helps provides a needle and thread to sew these patches together.
