StumbleUpon

ZoneTag Photos
by cyberien & 3 others, 1 comment Tagging made easy
ZoneTag suggests likely tags for each photo, making it easy to add tags from your phone and even easier for you to find the photos later. The suggestions are based on tags made by you and your Flickr contacts in similar context, e.g. in the same location.
Two-click upload to Flickr
Get your photos uploaded to Flickr in merely two clicks. No more searching for your photo to MMS to your friends or copying them to your computer first.
Find your photos by location
ZoneTag can automatically tag your photos with the location, based on the cell tower, in which they were taken. The location of the cell tower is not known until our user community updates the city, state, or zip code of their photos on Flickr.
Real-time privacy controls
You can specify on your phone who sees each photo you upload. You can also choose if you want location tags added to each photo.
