May 17, 2006Meta-Search by Tag or Site URL

March 21, 2006Keotag -- Meta Tag Search With Preview

March 09, 2006Ahhhh, Ma.gnolias.... New Tag Site

I was annoyed when I read the article at Kokogiak about Amazon's tagging experiments. Apparently not everyone could see the tags. And sure enough, I couldn't. But when I went to work and I was doing some Amazon things --...
November 03, 2005Why I Love Tagging
Tagging has not been getting much love lately in the circles I travel. Some people mention that they don't like tagging, some don't see the point, some decry the spammers insinuating themselves into tagging, and some just want to do...

September 12, 2005Another Tagging Resource: RawSugar
Mind you, I am getting addicted to searching del.icio.us, but at the same time I'm exploring other tagging resources as the tagging "thing" continues to evolve. With its page-saving ability, search recommendations, and search hookup to Google I'm digging RawSugar...
August 20, 2005Kludging AND Tag Searches in Technorati
Reader John Tropea has been doing some tag searches in Technorati and has come to the conclusion that the tag searches are forced phrase searches and not AND searches at all. In response he's come up with a horrible kludgy...

Social Bookmarking for PDF Documents
Ten thousand thanks to LibraryPlanet for a pointer to Yummy, a PDF directory that runs on tags and is hooked into a print-on-demand service. PDF files tend to be more information-based, and to a certain extent more academic. This is...
