Exactly, which is why automatic contextual metadata is sooo handy. Time/date stamp is the obvious easy one, and location is for devices that have that feature... but to go further we get into the area where devices like the N900 really set themselves apart from traditional cameras, recorders, at all. And to explore that we come right back to profiles.

I don't know how many people fully configure their digital cameras before using them (I don't) but I think it's safe to say we personalize our phones to a large extent. All of the info so used is potential metadata for media sharing purposes.

And we could go further with automated tagging as well... weather conditions, temperature, and as I mentioned in the intelligent postcard example (linked above), local events. All of this and more could be pulled in using an active internet connection, and shared to recipients in useful contexts.
