Sounds like you're jumping on the folksonomy bandwagon. I'd recommend looking into tying it in with larger folksonomy systems like technocrati or del.icio.us.
Googling for folksonomy will pull up a bucketload of links, mostly blog discussions. The basic idea is that it is an individualize, grassroots taxonomy labeling instead of an imposed taxonomy. Here's an academic article: http://www.adammathes.com/academic/computer-mediated-communication/folksonom ies.html I can't really say it's a good idea without knowing a) what the metrics of your web archive usage is compared to just email list use; and b) whether it's just something you think would be a cool feature or if there's a purpose to it like incentivizing a shift from the email lists to the web archive or tying into a meme community to drive traffic to your site. Damn. It's Monday morning and I've already used up my weekly buzzword quota. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2005 12:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: (Admin) New feature question I'm adding in a new feature and wanted to hear what people thought about it and what should be added/altered. Basically, any subscriber to House of Fusion/Fusion Authority (not just to a specific list) can enter personal keywords in association to a piece of data. This means that if you like the FA article on CF 7 little notes (http://www.fusionauthority.com/Article.cfm/ArticleID:4399), then you can add a keyword to it like "CF 7", CF 7 gotcha's", "freitag" or whatever else you want. If you like a thread on RegEx in CF-Talk or the RegEx list, you can label it as RegEx or the like. One question I have concerns threads vs. messages. Would you prefer to label an entire thread or a specific message (or both)? What do you think is missing here? Let me know what you think.
