I really like the idea. A couple of initial comments based on a test photo I uploaded straight from my camera (http://loud.ly/yqyqns):
I really didn't like having to install a piece of code in my site theme. Although I've done it for this test, I'm effectively giving you a bunch of analytics, and I'm loading JS I don't need on every page. I'd much rather have a single piece of JS (or similar) for each photo that I can just embed. That said, I do very much like that it's not a piece of Flash.
I was expecting to have to drag an area of the photo to begin with, so accidentally created a hotspot in the wrong place. It'd be great to be able to drag existing hotspots around.
Also, you've got this far - why not include buttons to share on Twitter and Facebook? Comments would also be a no-brainer - you could have the comment and share counts next to the "x like this!" hover-over.
Because we wanted to get this done as quickly as possible, we choose to for now make the dynamic placement of tags via Javascript the only way to do it for now. However, making a standalone script plus data rich img elements that hold the tag data is definitely on the roadmap.
Thanks for the ideas though - they are going on the backlog!
