Re: searching descriptions: when searching via description, you're likely to find descriptions that have whatever keyword you typed, but not in the scenario you had in mind.
Example: You searched for "office" and that matches the description "Game about shooting people at the office" If instead you had a tag system, searching --tag office would, presumably, match office applications only. Anyway, this may not be a tremendously great example, but I think there is somewhat of a point here. -AT On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 12:58 PM, Loui Chang <louipc....@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 08:32:29PM +0100, Dieter Plaetinck wrote: >> On Sun, 15 Mar 2009 17:55:01 +0100 >> Jens Maucher <jensmauc...@online.de> wrote: >> >> > Am Sonntag 15 März 2009 17:00:05 schrieb Pierre Chapuis: >> > > Le Sun, 15 Mar 2009 11:54:12 -0400, >> > > >> > > Daenyth Blank <daenyth+a...@gmail.com> a écrit : >> > > > > What's the practical difference between a tag and a hashtag? >> > > > >> > > > I think that he means to put tags as comments?
