Taggstar - bring your photos to life - 0 views

  •  
    This is free software that you can download in order to tag images (or elements in images) on your website/blog. The tool was created as a merchandising/marketing tool (e.g. visitors can find out where to buy all of the cool things in your image), but it seems ripe for other more scholarly purposes as well. Downside: unclear whether others can tag your images.
