Comments on: Not bitten by the tag bug yet, introducing Feedmarker and Feedtagger http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20050321/1598/ Technology, music, video, art, news, reviews and muse on the web Sat, 22 Nov 2008 10:39:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: TDavid http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20050321/1598/#comment-2410 TDavid Thu, 31 Mar 2005 17:10:16 +0000 http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20050321/1598/#comment-2410 Nah, if I don't do the tagging at publish time then I just haven't gone back and added them. So personal choice, actually. Also, something I don't like about these Technorati tags is there doesn't appear to be any archive, so it's purely a time based thing for Technorati but a permanent thing for the blogger that points to them. So once other people tag the same category your entry falls off and yet your link still points to Technorati, which I'm not too crazy about. I wish they had an archive so it didn't drop off. Once my link drops, the advantage is clearly to Technorati. Readers do still benefit though by being able to go and check out recent tagged content. My biggest fear though is the dangerous spam potential here ... it seems to be a very realistic concern and I'm not sure how much content from this blog I want associated with any sort of spam (guilt by association and link). Hopefully Technorati will keep that under control so that it doesn't negatively impact those who link up tags. It seems like they are doing good on that front so far but it could get spammed very easily. Nah, if I don’t do the tagging at publish time then I just haven’t gone back and added them.

I might stand corrected on that one. Here's a link to someone that has the JS code (just right click and save to favorites the link on this page): http://oddiophile.com/wp_tr_bookmarklet.html Hmm, maybe it wasn’t Technorati that provided this after all.

I can't seem to find it on the Technorati site. TDavid, where did you find the bookmarklet for adding Technorati Tags? I can’t seem to find it on the Technorati site.
