I can assure you that most photographers would benefit from even a good thesaurus that could instantly apply words and terms to their images. This program is certainly much more and is specifically targeted to keywording images.
They have a demo on the site and it shows the program in action. To be honest, Rolf, I believe that attitudes like the one you just expressed are the reason many people never achieve their potential. If all you want to do is be a hobbyist then don't focus on keywording and how to better market your images; if, on the other hand, you wish to maximize the earnings from your images then you should not be so quick to dismiss the power of keywording.
Now I ask you and anyone who ignores keywording: how will people find your images if not via keywords?
The answer is that you can rent a storefront for a couple thousand a month in your city's downtown so that people drive by and see a small number of your total images. Or you can spend some time and a bit of money to properly keyword your images, put them online and allow Google, Bing, etc, to market them for you. Once they are keyworded and online they are there for billions of people to find and they are there forever, or as long as you pay your rent of $19.95 a month, or whatever your web hosting fee is.
I can personally assure you that keywording and web marketing works.
