Since I'm a visual person, I also use flickr as a documentation tool - I do a lot of screen shots with snagit and annotate. The next iteration of a photo contest, LOL Seals. The first contest, they asked people to upload their photos and tag it themselves, which meant they had to create a Flickr account and know what “tagging” was.
