Tagging Tagging Tagging

It's all the rage. Tag your blog. Tag your bookmark. It's the new way to find things.

And it's about time! Someone asked me the other day, what makes a good tag? So here's a couple things I came up with.

Tagging is about you finding your stuff. If it makes sense to you, then use it!

Do some research - got to an application like Delicious and search for items similar to what you're looking for. Steal tags! If other people are using it, you should use it.

If a tag appears to be vague, like 'tuesday', pick another tag that puts it into some context, like TV or sports.

More tags, the better. Make a game of it and pick as many as you can in 30 seconds!
