Tagging, clipping, and saving are all great ways to save a group of select webpages. However, what good is all that great information if you cannot effectively showcase your findings in a concise and organized structure? Tagtooga is an amazing tool, a mashup of bookmarkings, wikis, and open dir. It’s power comes at the cost of a learning curve, you really need to play with it before it’s meaning becomes clear. Tags are cool – they let you organise what you bookmark in loose hierarchies. Collections are also useful as they provide an extra level of meaningful grouping.

Tags are single-word descriptors — this is how social bookmark systems categorize content so that you and other users can find it. Tagging was a natural progression to me. Assigning keywords to links I needed to save made perfect sense. Tag clouds take care of agility, timeliness and relevancy for you, since real people tag sites based on what’s in their mind at the time. And while your site may get tagged in some quirky ways, quirks are what make the human brain much less prone to manipulation than an algorithm.

Tagging

Tagging is a democratic, intuitive process: anyone can tag a site in any way they see fit and there are no agreed-upon conventions. Ordinary people – not search engines or librarians – decide how sites will be classified.
