[videoblogging] Re: Tracking the conversations, etc.
There are a few different levels of this problem, but tags are indeed the way to go if you want a solution that is not site-dependent. Part of the problem you're describing is due to this uber group and the inability to break out discussions by topic. I'm working on a new idea (new site?) that will help facilitate the video relationships, but I'm not sure the community is strong enough to support it. -Matt --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Devlon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't think I've ever posted a real message to this group, so if I breach any etiquette it's only out of ignorance :) ...but something has been bugging me for a while now and I think if any group people can address it, it would be this group.

Do we need to poke and prod blog hosting services to provide support for tags (ie, make is easier to tag). I think tags are the way to go, but it seems like something is missing. -- ~Devlon http://loadedpun.com | http://mefeedia.com http://8bitme.blogspot.com | http://devlonduthie.com SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Typepad Use Explains YAHOO!
