The tags name could be arbitrary (ImageTag1, ImageTag2) and the meaning injected into a purely visual way. You could tag with a picture, and that picture could change. You could then tag that picture with text (or an other tag). Turning it upside down for a moment, imaging the tiddler is an image and then you wanted to use this as a tag. The use case is not hard to imagine. You are walking along with your phone, you see something that reminds you of something. You take a photo of it, then when you get home you add tiddler tagged with the image -- is a TaggyTaggin way , new here. Then you can build up the information tied to that photograph (or any data that the image might also capture such as GPS location). I got this idea from reading about how to memorise things. The story goes that a roman emperor used to remember speeches by waling a route and using objects he saw on his journey as visual cues for what he might say. A search for "Ciscero memory method" brings up many results, but method of loci [1] is the one i found most useful. As for implementation I think the generating of the tiddler from the image would be a lot easier. The tiddler could display an image in a tags div (or a mini sideshow if there were more than one) I thought that this would work best on an iPhone (i don't have one). You would take the picture and that act would be the same as creating a new tiddler. For GTD type maneuvres, I'd take a picture of the fish shop for example, then add some items; squid, mackerel etc. These tiddlers could be photos too - my shoping list could -- with the help of the ELS story saver plugin [2] -- be a story.
