Tagging...   "Taking a world of chaos, and making it orderly."

(some call it 'bookmarking' or 'social-bookmarking')

 

[Also visit 'Tags4God' wiki-page -- to see why & how to use TAGGING for the cause of Christ.]

 

 

TAGS... are keywords.  Use them as you bookmark your favorite websites or pages, photos or videos.  And don't save your bookmarks on  just YOUR computer -- save 'em out on a public page on the internet so you can SHARE them.  That's why we sometimes call it SOCIAL bookmarking.

 

Tagging... is a new way to bookmark (save) your favorite articles, pictures, videos or anything with an internet address (URL, link, permalink)... and adding some descriptive keywords (tags) to help you remember how you classified it and saved it.

 

• Example... If I came across a great internet page showing the latest greatest research about internet usage, I might tag that page-link and assign it some keywords (tags) such as... internet... research... usage.
• Then later, from my page of saved tags, I can simply click on 'internet'... or 'research'... or 'usage'... and it'll retrieve all the page-links I've saved using those keywords (tags).
  • How & where can I do all this?  My recommendation is go get a  del.icio.us account-ID.  It's the most popular tagging site.  [And if you do get a del.icio.us account-ID, drop me a line so I can check it out.]

 

Advantages of tagging?

• Free & easy.
• You don't get a headache wondering how you classified something -- you can use as many tags as you like.
• Your list of tagged favorites is an internet page -- so you can get to it/them from any computer hooked to the net. 
• And if you make your tagged favorite available publically... other people can benefit from looking over your shoulder and seeing what you consider to be valuable.
• If you use del.icio.us, you can see how many other people also tagged that particular site or article or video... and you can see THEIR page of tags... and learn from them too.
• At del.icio.us, you can create a 'network' page consisting of recently tagged items by other users you've added to your 'network'.
• All your tag pages at del.icio.us automatically create an RSS feed.
• Thus that also becomes a Free and Easy RSS Workaround.
• Also visit Tags4God -- our cityreaching USE of tags for the cause of Christ.
