New Technorati tag feature
At the beginning of this week, Technorati will launch a new tag aggregation feature: When you search on a tag, you’ll be shown a list of “related” tags. The relationships are automatically discerned by the software, analyzing the other tags used by people tagging the same set of pages and photos. Dave Sifry let me play with a beta of it, and the suggested tags were generally quite relevant […]
It’s a really good news!
Why? Because I never know if I should use “blog” instead of “blogs” tag. This seem stupid but it is not.
feed or feeds? I think that plural is a serious problem in the tagging world.
Why? Because people who will search for “blog” tag will not see entries of “blogs” tag.
This future system will overcome, beautifully, the problem.
It’s a great thing to have developed this feature. I can’t wait to look at it.

I’m still not convinced that tagging is the best way to go about categorising the blogosphere. From what I can see, it is open to being gamed in the same way that meta tags are. And more significantly, it has to be easy to include and people have got to do it. Purely on looking at Irish sites, at least 75% of them do not have complete sets of meta data. Perhaps blogging is at an early enough stage for tagging to become significant.

Hello Mr. McCormac,
It’s great to have your comment here, thank!
I share your thoughts about tagging. Me too I’m not sure of his effectiveness. Categorizing for your own while using hotmail, gmail or del.icio.us (if you didn’t take care of the social part of the system) is great. But folksonomie his at his infancy and I have doubts on his effectiveness. It’s just another way to search for stuff. The difference between conventional searching and tag searching is that the first one is used to find specific things; the other is used to search on a specific subject.
I have doubts but I have hope too. I think that what will make folksonomie works will be the systems that will integrate it. Will the system be effective to link tags semantics? By example, Technorati seem to have a good system. Few related tags and related tags are semantically linked. Take Wists, they show you a mountain of tags with or without semantic links with your searched tag. Personally, such a system isn’t useful; it just take place on your screen.
The discussion is open, but we will see the effectiveness of tags in the future…. I hope
Salutations,
Fred
