Hello Tom,

Yes, the image search would ideally be optional. If I'm working with many posts, the incremental delay while the tags are parsed only for that work to be discarded is, noticeable...

Besides, if MY flickr stream(s) could be parsed for pic's that would be a boon!

The system as it stands is inspirational for non-niche blogs. The images are awesome but irrelevant for the project I'm working on now http://ncoga.org . Obviously it would be great for other situations. The semantic weighting of the tags is a tough one. More power to you. Just because I use the term "U.N" doesn't mean I want pictures of monolithic corporate structures -but I understand that the person that tagged that image felt this way... If I have a site about dogs, the tag "dog" is going to be fairly dense. Fine, but I'd like to assign weights to tags to skew the message to service my strategic agenda...

Interesting times.

I have a major project on the backburner (alpha dev stage) http://beneFACT.org which is a WPMu installation servicing the outdoorsy types in the SE USA. If this plugin is WPMu compatible, it will be the endometrium needed to conceive the parlay between these territorial people...

If it's a resource hog -it'll get me kicked off my shared host...

I have the earlier calais plugin enabled on there but will swap it out ASAP.

I'd appreciate being kept in the WPMu loop!

Cheers.
