@inproceedings{citeulike:1279898, abstract = {Why do people tag? Users have mostly avoided annotating media such as photos -- both in desktop and mobile environments -- despite the many potential uses for annotations, including recall and retrieval. We investigate the incentives for annotation in Flickr, a popular web-based photo-sharing system, and ZoneTag, a cameraphone photo capture and annotation tool that uploads images to Flickr. In Flickr, annotation (as textual tags) serves both personal and social purposes, increasing incentives for tagging and resulting in a relatively high number of annotations. ZoneTag, in turn, makes it easier to tag cameraphone photos that are uploaded to Flickr by allowing annotation and suggesting relevant tags immediately after capture.}, added-at = {2009-12-11T23:34:46.000+0100}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Ames, Morgan and Naaman, Mor}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2a65cefd93890f99f0119da73ba18d392/djsaab}, booktitle = {CHI '07: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems}, citeulike-article-id = {1279898}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1240624.1240772}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/1240624.1240772}, description = {djsaab's CiteULike library 20091211}, doi = {10.1145/1240624.1240772}, interhash = {bd24c17d66d2b904b3fc9444c2b64b44}, intrahash = {a65cefd93890f99f0119da73ba18d392}, isbn = {978-1-59593-593-9}, keywords = {mobile\_environments, motivations, tagging, tagging\_systems}, location = {San Jose, California, USA}, pages = {971--980}, posted-at = {2009-10-14 21:49:21}, priority = {2}, publisher = {ACM}, timestamp = {2009-12-11T23:34:46.000+0100}, title = {Why we tag: motivations for annotation in mobile and online media}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/1240624.1240772}, year = 2007 }
