Tagtology is an application that helps you organize your tags and connect your tags with your friends tags.
We all like to use tags. Over the time, you may have accumulated hundreds of tags. Some of the different tags may be equivalent or closely related. For example, tas blog, blogs, blogging most likely mean the same thing, or tags jobs and career are closely related. Also, a tag may have been used to tag very different subjects, like the tag network may mean a computer network, or a social network. What is more, tags have no structure. For example, it does not show Firefox is a type of browser, and Mozilla makes firefox. Or Linux is a type of Unix, which is a type of operating system.
In tagtology, we can organize our tags by simply connecting them with relations in a tag relation map.
Why do we need to organize our tags? Because it helps us find and discover contents. In the Discover mode, we can search for a tag and find all the tags that are related to it. We can navigate this tag map by clicking on a tag. We can find the contents tagged with a tag by clicking on the delicious icon here. It performs a tag search on delicious.
In enterprise and social bookmarking, we use tags to categorize and remember our contents, but the tags are ambiguous and have no structure. Now with tagtology, we can benefit from the tag relations defined by our coworkers or friends to find and discover contents. Tagtology aggregates the wisdom of our network to organize the messy tag soup into a knowledge structure that will help us find and discover the information we need.
