We'll also be rolling out a way to explain your tags. Probably less
complicated...

Hi all,
I had a thought (probably not original) of using del.icio.us itself to
comment on the meaning of a tag. Okay, one's own idea of the meaning
of a tag. Why? Suppose I want to remember why I chose that tag's name
or a group of tags for a particular concept. Where would I want to
store those notes? Online, of course!
Here's my process:
1. Log into your del.icio.us page, etc, and go to "your bookmarks".
2. Type in the tags search box "define+tag" and start the search.
"define" will be your meta-tag for identifying posts, and "tag" is the
tag you want to define. I suppose you can put more tags at the same
time: "define+tag1+tag2"
3. You will get an empty page.
4. Post/bookmark this page to del.icio.us: First type "define" and
"tag" in the "tags" field. Then, type your description in the "notes"
field. Save your bookmark.
Then when you go to your own "define" tag page, you'll get a listing
of all the tags that you commented. For example:
del.icio.us/example/define+forum+mine
my comments to posts on other people's forums
to define forum mine ... on 1970-01-01 ... edit / delete
Of course, there's not much benefit in defining every tag or group of
tags, but maybe its a useful cheat sheet for remembering and at a
later time, sorting and maintenance. Plus the notes are saved with
your links when you export/backup.
Do you use a similar system? Are there others that have fleshed out this idea?
Best regards,
Clifford "piyokun" Caoile
