Events are useful, Faces/Places are amazing! Groups of kids to be tagged in photos would be great (perfect for yearbook class). And if you are uploading to FaceBook (if you have permission) other people can tag the photos and they get pulled back to your computer. And for places you can can group tag by date. So this whole week I can tag as "Costa Rica" and give it a wide radius of the whole country(-ish). And then pick particular days and narrow it down to a specific city or location. The maps actually let me pick a specific roller-rink where I took some photos (much narrower than a city or street) to tag my photos. My hope is that FaceBook might add places to their tagging and make this even more useful. Related cartoon: http://www.joyoftech.com/joyoftech/joyarchives/1209.html

I do have the iPhoto 2008, which was a great improvement over my 4 year old version. I am really liking the "event" folders. It's been really easy to sort the photos. I can then pick out the even that I want to share and just open that, and not have to go through EVERY photo to get there. I can also re-arrange them. I like the Event folders better than creating folders along the side. I really wanted to sort the whole library and I couldn't before. So, this is good. Is the new places and faces worth the upgrade from 08 to 09?
