Green underlined words

Expand Post »
Well, we now have little green hyperlinks! I'd like to introduce everyone to a new [bbcode] that automatically integrates with our blogs. For example, suppose I am talking about [tag]google[/tag]. By using our new [tag] bbcode, I can automatically send you to the latest headlines about Google ... aka a listing of the latest featured blog entries that have been blog tagged to be related to our favorite search engine.

[php][tag]google[/tag][/php]
outputs
[tag]google[/tag]

Re: Green underlined words

Actually it looks as if you get sent to all blog entries with the tag, not just featured ones.

Re: Green underlined words

Not sure of that is a good (exposes all postings on the subject) or a bad (no quality/relevancy filtering) thing to be honest. I think I tend to veer towards the bad.

Re: Green underlined words

Well remember it's more like you're doing a keyword search.

Re: Green underlined words

I haven't seen anyone use this tag since its inception. Is it not useful?

Most people probably don't even know about it (I only occasionally read Community Feedback), and I don't really see that many uses for it.

Re: Green underlined words

I guess. I was hoping it would be wiki-like ... not in the free content way but in the interlinking pages way.

Re: Green underlined words

I don't see how we can use it in a reply to a technical question. From what I have noticed, it just takes us to the blog list with keyword [tag]google[/tag], and it is the responsibility of the reader to filter out what he needs. That rather doesnt achieve what we look for in a reply to a question. We have to be exact in our replies, or it will be no different from doing a [tag]google[/tag] search. The feature is cool, only I don't see how to integrate it constructively within our posts and not just for the sake that it is there.
