http://boagworld.com/usability/tag-your-pages/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tag-your-pages Advice on web design and digital strategy from Paul Boag Tue, 21 May 2013 11:50:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 http://boagworld.com/usability/tag-your-pages/#comment-1326 Paul Boag Wed, 17 May 2006 09:23:08 +0000 http://wpboagworld:83/uncategorized/tag-your-pages#comment-1326 Yeah I removed it from the site. In short I learnt that people simply didnt use it. To be honest this was no great suprise. Why would anybody bother to tag somebody elses website. Interesting concept but fundamentally flawed.

Also, I added a tag to see what would happen and got flung out of the site in nowhere. An unusabile usability feature?

These tag clouds can be displayed on web pages, but I don’t believe that it allows users to add tags.

(I didn’t read the whole article, he may have already said it.)

Naturally they would integrate automated censorship. If I had user tagging on my site I would probably want it moderated, otherwise everything would be one giant mess.
User tagging does have some very attractive advantages. For one, the author wouldn’t have to rack his brains for appropriate tags. Those tags would be provided by his users and thus cater more closely to their target audience.
