I’ve been following the rapid growth of the tagging /folksonomy meme, and brainstorming about ways to use this for business. Some ideas:
ProgeSOFT is encouraging its users to tag content about its products (IntelliCAD, PRogeCAD) so they can learn from one another. Its recommending three tags intellicad, learnintellicad, and learn software for use at del.icio.us, flickr and blog sites via technorati tags.
Great experiment, although Im not convinced that those are the right tags, especially the learn software one. Is that so you can search for items tagged both as intellicad and learn software? Itll be interesting to see how the folks develop their own folksonomy.
I dont mean to carp. I think this is a truly interesting idea. My hat is off to ProfeSOFT.
+ Track consumers’ thoughts on various topics
+ Track what’s hot (tags growing rapidly in popularity)
+ Outsource your metadata-production to your users
I’m sure you have other ideas….
