Fun with tags ... Wordle
Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes.

Video Tagging Services: Veotag and Click.TV

Video Tagging Services: Veotag and Click.TV
VeoTag and Click.TV are two contenders in the video tagging space. They’ll be joined by MotionBox, a similar service that offers both deep-tagging and video remixing (ala JumpCut and Eyespot). The idea is to let users tag individual sections of a video so that others can skip straight to the juicy bits. Further down the line, the data could also be used to improve video search.

All The Cool Kids Are Deep Tagging
http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/10/01/all-the-cool-kids-are-deep-tagging/
All The Cool Kids Are Deep Tagging
Many people are tagging audio, video and photo content.
YouTube, Flickr and others allow this (and see Google’s efforts to tag photos using humans). Tags help describe the content and are usable by search engines as well as humans.
But highest level tags, when they are present, don’t capture all of the content, so a lot is missed.
That’s why I like the idea of deep tagging. It requires human labor but for many publishers it’s worth it. Instead of simply being associated with a file, a deep tag is associated with a clip from the file. Click on the tag and jump right to that part of the clip.

Thirteen Tips for Effective Tagging

Thirteen Tips for Effective Tagging
How to mark sites so you and others can find them
Let's face it: the Internet is huge. It's tough enough to find useful information, let alone save it so that you can refer to it later.
Wouldn't it be nice to classify information with your own keywords so that you could find it again easily? To share your favorite sites and links with others, without relying on your browser's Advanced Search feature?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, it's time try your hand at tagging. A tag is a collaboratively generated, open-ended labeling system that enables Internet users to categorize content such as Web pages, online photographs, and Web links.
Tagging lets you categorize information online your way.

For some educators, tagging is 'it'

For some educators, tagging is 'it'
New way to find and store information online has implications for schools
A (new) way of searching the web makes it easier than ever to find, store, and share information online.
Supporters of the method, known as "tagging," say it could have broad implications for educators looking to direct students quickly and easily to more relevant information on the internet.
Educators say the greatest benefit of tagging, and the reason many large internet companies now are adopting it, is that tagging sites often allow users to make their list of tags and sites available to (and searchable by) either a closed community of individuals-- such as friends and family, or the students of Mrs. Jones's eighth-grade English class--or all other web surfers.

Tagging and Meta-Search
http://www.searchlounge.org/
Tagging and Meta-Search
Tagging systems are segmented by media. You can tag photos on Flickr, web pages on Furl, del.icio.us, Yahoo!? My Web., videos on YouTube, your book collection on LibraryThing, and so forth and so on. But why should my video tags be different from my photo tags? There might be one-off situations, but generally my tags should follow me rather than me having to follow my tags around from search box to search box.
I want one search box or tag cloud to give me access to all of it. At times I may want to limit my search or browse by media (as in tabbed searching for local vs. news vs. images, etc), but often I?l want all relevant results regardless of media type.
Tag Central does this, but it lists results by source rather than integrating them together with a ranking algorithm. But it? fun to play around with.
Has anyone built a meta-search engine or a widget of some sort that actually integrates and ranks the results across tagging systems?
