[tw5] Re: Do you actually use GG "tags" to find things? -- My suspicion is its pointless

Interesting replies!

Thank you.

Not what I thought would happen! :-)

Okay, so the tag thing has some utility.

The one thing I'd like you to do is ask Jeremy Ruston to ADD any obvious 
labels that are missing.

Hi Josiah,
 Yes they are good for categorizing things! They will be more useful if all 
people here use them!!

by the way having them is better than not having them!

Ditto. They're really useful for filtering.

I also find them useful when there are specific topics defined. Knowing
what to search for / tag a general post is difficult and not as useful, but
if there are discrete categories...

I have a TW that's a dictionary, and the entries are tagged for semantic
domain. For example, the word for fingernail / shell / eggshell / chitin is
tagged with the codes for body parts, animal parts, and substances. It
makes it easy to see what I have at a glance in the same general category,
and what else I need.

I find them moderately useful as a filtering mechanism that can even show 
other categories I might not have thought to Search.
