I suspect that the best scenario for text-tagging is <A HREF="http://www.connotea.org/cloud" REL="nofollow">a small and active group who are dealing with shared and specialized interests and texts</A>.<BR/><BR/>For example, I think <A HREF="http://unalog.com/" REL="nofollow">unalog</A> works because there's a small audience with similar, specialized interests. But remember when someone's young daughter tried unalog? All of a sudden there was a rash of posts about giraffes. (Or was lions? tigers? <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Giraffes-Dr-Doris-Haggis-Whey/dp/0743267265/sr=1-1/qid=1162918122/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-9263229-6284940?ie=UTF8&s=books" REL="nofollow">giraffes? giraffes!</A>) In <A HREF="http://del.icio.us/tag/" REL="nofollow">a larger social bookmark aggregator</A>, these links would be just be background noise. But I would rather use unalog - with giraffes and all!Mitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662779929151451964noreply@blogger.com
