So basically:
1. A content creator takes photos of objects and tags them (links, texts whatever)
2. I take photos of those places and linkapic shows me what the content creator tagged those photos (objects) with.
Right?
I think that a twist to your idea might be interesting.
Say Content Crator tags objects/photos. The way you have it now I have to take a photo of the same object to see the tag. Instead how about that if I am walking around you can show me nearby tagged images based on GPS.
There would be more discovery for me and less work. Taking photos of things and then waiting to see the notes sounds like work. But walking down the street and seeing interesting things that other people have taken photos of in the vicinity and tagged becomes interesting.
And it can be a tour because one tag can have directions to the next object etc.

A side note: The discussion in your blog is meandering in my opinion (SEO/democracy etc) and the point is not well made. It would be best to just stick to the basic use case w/o pitching/marketing as pg likes to say.
- ksolanki 15y agoYou did get the basic idea -- content creators can basically make a world around them visually searchable. Say, a University or zoo can link their buildings or exhibits to more information. Any visitor can then look it up. The twist that you mention seems interesting -- we were planning to add a feature that would let users discover tags nearby, as well as "related" (say, a user snaps a winery, he/she can see other wineries nearby). The original idea behind snapping a picture to search was to give a higher degree or precision, so users can get answers to "What is this building?" or "What is this statue?".
