RSS4Lib:: Making a Feed Where None Exists
RSS4Lib:: Making a Feed Where None Exists

Introducing Tagyu :: Adam Kalsey
Introducing Tagyu :: Adam Kalsey
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.
Emphasis mine.
It’s authority control for folksonomies.
