Tags are a way for computers to easily identify and search different material. On AOL Stalker we use tags to provide a easy way to find users that are associated to certain tags.

 

We use a beta system from the website Taggit! that allows us to easily integrate a tagging and tag search system on our website. In a few weeks this system will be public and available for everyone to use.

 

Guidelines for using tags are as follows.

• Your tags are public. Everyone will be able to see them!
• Keep your tags brief.
• Tags are space-separated. Use "bigbrother", not "big brother".
• We provide a few example tags for you. Use them if you like.
• Don't forget to click 'Taggit!' to save your tags.
• Tags must be all-lowercase, no punctuation. Numbers can appear but can't be first. Smoosh them up: for "Web 2.0", tag "web20". Max 64 chars.
• Avoid plurals please: "harddrive", not "harddrives".
• For the opposite of a tag, prefix it with "!", e.g. "!funny" means unfunny.
• Please use synonyms to describe something, if you use the tag "weed" a tag for "drug" is probably also in place.

These guidelines originally comes from Slashdot.org.
