Tastebuds
Here's an idea for the lazyweb to solve how writers are lazy at categorizing their posts. We've had lots of attempts to make categorization easier, but readers in aggregate do a better job. I'm looking for something to leverage del.icio.us enclosed in a single post, a widget called Tastebuds:
- Looks up the URL of your post
- Grabs the tags people have used on your post
- Displays the top 5 at the bottom of your post
- Each tag is a link to a list of your posts with that tag
Double bonus points for enriching the list of posts with conversational threads like on Memeorandum, pivoting on the tags through Technorati and making the list sortable.
UPDATE: Adam Kalsey sayz that Tagyu could auto-suggest tags based on post content before someone links to it. For example, here would be the tags for this post: del.icio.us api reference firefox programming blog
MORE: Here's the bookmarks of this post, care of the Tasty? bookmarklet I use frequently. In comments, there is a Wordpress plugin that does Tastebuds with a convenient bookmark this post link. However, the tag links go to all links with a given tag, rather than BlogURL+tag which gets you reader tagged archives for a blog.
