So based on your feedback guys I think this idea would be something more suitable as a Firefox extension, Greasemonkey script, or other web hack. Basically I'm now thinking of something that retrieves keywords from a site's meta tags and suggests those to the user as recommended tags. Anyone know a talented coder that I can collaborate my ideas with? Seriously.

This phenomenon is easy to observe. I was providing a group of users I work with some default posting tags to "get them started" based on the section of a site they were posting to and content from their posts. Big mistake. The overwhelming response was to simply accept the defaults as if they are some kind of a priori cataloging system. Virtually NO ONE replaced the starter tags and almost no one even bothered to add tags even with obvious need or glaring dissonance between their posts and the generated recommendations. c -- Chris Lott _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
