Flickr Photo with Notes Attached:
John Cloninger added notes to a photo
that he posted on Flickr. I took
a screenshot of the photo and cut it down
to accentuate one of the notes. Follow
this link to view the complete photo.

My friend John Cloninger used his Flickr account to publish an interesting photo called storm2 which had a more informative description DOGGIE SMELL COFFEE!!!! The photo depicts a dog and his master standing in front of the Starbucks Coffee in Summit, NJ.

To the photo, John added two rectangles with notes attached: "Doggie" and "Overpriced coffee". When you view the photo on Flickr and mouse over one of the rectangles, both of them are highlighted and the rectangle overwhich the mouse sits shows its attached note (see the photo attached to this story for an illustration of this).

The "notes feature" in Flickr adds an additional entertaining or educational dimension to photos that employ it.

According to Corrante Many to Many the Flickr Notes feature is intended to be read/write compatible with Fotonotes. This is a technology that Greg Elin has been working on since at least 2003, but Flickr is the first place where I've seen it deployed in a way that's accessible to me.

I think Flickr Notes is really interesting and I'm going to try adding some to a photos I post in my Flickr photostream.
