While doing my morning reading I noticed that Slashdot has now started offering the ability for paying subscribers only to tag ./ stories:

You are encouraged to use this feature to submit a handful of tags: brief labels that you think best describe this article … We don’t know exactly how this will all work, and a lot of it really depends on you.

This is an interesting move for a venerable publication like ./ to experiment with and it will be interesting to see if the subscribers do a good job describing the stories. They offer a few suggestions about how not to tag like don’t pluralize, keep tags short and no spaces (scrunch words together instead).

I guess this makes yet a third method of handling multiple word tags: spaces, dashes and no spaces.

Did this post make you go hmm?
