Labeling photos
A question for all the Flickr (or similar) users out there. How thorough are you when it comes to organizing your photos?
I know some of you are Project 365ers and upload one photo a day (or maybe a handful), so tagging and describing and sorting isn't really a huge deal. But I'm talking about the times when you go on vacation or to an event and take 50+ photos and upload them all at once.
I used to be very meticulous about organizing photos. They would all get personalized tags, be sorted into albums, and given titles and descriptions. I'm not so good about that any more, especially when I have friends who send me CDs of all the photos they've taken on our trips together.
I don't really want to abandon organizing photos all together, because sometimes I forget the names of people I've met or places I've seen. But sometimes I wonder if there could be an easier way to do it all. (I think this is all because of my pro account - when you have unlimited bandwidth, you can upload hundreds of photos at once with no worries!)
Any tips? Should I just suck it up and label things as I go along?

I am not particularly thorough when it comes to my pictures. I use the Flickr Uploadr thingy, which is quite handy for organising and tagging batches. I would like to post my pictures to several pools/groups, but it would probably take up too much time.
I agree with the comment above. Flickr Uploader is a useful thingy that helps you organize your pictures while you are uploading them (in fact, before you even upload them). To tag a whole set, you can open it up in "organize your sets and collections" and apply the same tags to all the pictures in that set. Same thing with placing your photos on a map.
