Do any robots use the metadata in your images?

I don't know for sure, but logistically that seems very impractical. For a robot to open up and read metadata out of an image, it would have to download it first. Not that it couldn't be done, but downloading and scanning the entire "HTML internet" is one thing; downloading and scanning the entire "JPG internet" is a whole 'nother can of worms.

I didn't know if there was any since in adding metadata tags for web use or not. I didn't think that it was used, and I guess downloading all the images and checking would take a long time as well. Thanks.

Well, if you use a site like flickr then flickr reads the metadata from your files - if you make those available I wouldn't be surprised if they got scanned by a robot.

Not directly accessed in the file, but still.
