she collected a bunch of Flickr photos of people spinning on the bull’s balls in Milan. Notice how that fulltext query effectively retrieves a pile of images, taken by different people, of the same curious custom:
If you are passing through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, you should spin around on the testicles of the bull mosaic found in the centre. Legend has it that this will bring you good luck!
Now try this query, which uses the same terms but looks at tags instead of the free text (title, description) associated with the photos. It finds nothing.

Hi Jon-
In your talk with Philip Rosedale I was surprised that you never referred to your own Second Life experience ( http://jonudell.net/udell/2006-10-16-in-search-of-non-gratuitous-3d.html ) if only to reconcile the big benefits he attributed to Second Life meetings to your own experience.
Have you had sebsequent, more fruitful SL experiences?
