From a quick scan it seems they patented the ability to send notifications on tags, not tags themselves.
[edit] it seems they have tagging oo. I wonder what does flickr have to say about this?

- smackfu 15y agoClaim 1 is the primary part of the patent, and I don't see how it would apply to generic tagging. Flickr does have this same feature, but they only added it in October 2009. Before that they just had generic "notes" and I would guess they are not particularly happy with the patent. http://blog.flickr.net/en/2009/10/21/people-in-photos/ http://blog.flickr.net/en/2009/10/21/people-in-photos/
- neilk 15y agoI wrote a similar feature for Flickr as a Greasemonkey extension back in 2005. http://www.flickr.com/photos/brevity/10826112/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/brevity/10826112/ Granted, as a user script it didn't do anything to help you find all the pictures you were tagged in; that would require a database.
