Name Tags

[Pytka]

I have found it helpful to tag some of my photos with my own user name. This enables my friends to view my photos just by typing my name into the tags menu. If other Pano users also do this, you will be able to easily bring up someone's photos even if the only thing you remember is his/her name.

If you do choose to tag your photos in this way, don't be disappointed if they don't show up the first time you try to find them. Wait a few days of even a few weeks. They will eventually show up in the tag box.

Good luck to all Pano users!!!

That's right. I think better is to tag all photos with user ID. This is unique and permanent identifier, and very likely no one else will use your ID as tag.
With unique tag you can find all user photos in Google Maps!

All photos by user can be acessed directly by his gallery link in the form http://www.panoramio.com/user/xxxxxx where xxxxx is user ID.

Or on Panoramio map:
http://www.panoramio.com/map/?user=xxxxxx

or on Google Earth:
http://www.panoramio.com/kml/?user=xxxxxx

I believe all of my mapped photos are tagged with my username, and have been for a long time.

Thank you for the great idea.  I don't know why I didn't think of this one before.
