Yes, they have a very advanced photo tagging app. You are right they must be storing metadata into the database. But just for starters...if a jQuery plugin would just let you hover+click on a picture to add a tag on it then storing the data into the database using JSON can be achieved easily I think.
I'm very new to jQuery so dont know where to begin, but if someone does decide to take this idea on...I'd be willing to help in any way i can.
