tagging

Tagging is back AND BETTER. I totally reworked the interface and tagging options for the whole site. Now, anytime a member posts new content, they can attach an existing tag (or, in many cases, create their own) to the article, blog post, or other item. This will give site users better search results, allow the tracking of "Most Popular" and "Hot" items, and enable various other bookmark and sharing features to work.

The more content we get and the more we use tags, the more valuable the social aspects of these linkages by category become. Rather than depending on machine generated links via keywords, real users make real decisions about the quality and relevancy of information. The idea is that the "cream" will rise to the top, but all the "milk" is still there, waiting to be searched in order to find more obscure information.
