Introducing Tagyu

7 Oct 2005

Say hi to Tagyu. He’s a clever little guy that really knows his tags. Tell him what you’re talking about and he’ll tell you what tags you might want to use.

The basic premise of Tagyu is to let other people help you tag your content. Tagyu comapres what you’re writing to what other people around the web are writing. It looks at how they’ve tagged their content and uses that informtion to give you some ideas about how to tag yours. Look at any tag and you’ll see items from del.icio.us that match that tag. Tagyu will show you how those items are tagged at del.icio.us and then show you what tags it suggests for each item. Every time a tag is shown, it’s clickable, so you can free-associate all day long.

Tagyu learns by reading content, so it will become better behaved with age, which is more than I can say about your children. A web services interface is coming, natch.

  • Embrace the medium The Web is different than print, television, or any other medium. To be successful, designers must embrace those differences.
  • Customer reference questions. Sample questions to ask customer references when choosing a software vendor.
  • Simplified Form Errors One of the most frustrating experiences on the Web is filling out forms. When mistakes are made, the user is often left guessing what they need to correct. We've taken an approach that shows the user in no uncertain terms what needs to be fixed.
  • Debunking predictions Read/Write Web's authors have some goofy predictions.
