Yeah you’re right, tagging to-do notes is a good idea to organise them (they don’t have to be part of the folksonomy as you can keep them private)

Maybe someone should make a simple tool solely dedicated to notes like Webnote but have tagging to organise your notes (also have the option of making your notes public if need be…so I guess it could be a sharing and discovery system (a folksonomy) as well.

Anyway I thought you could browse a list of tags, and also browse a list of users (having them in the same list doesn’t work for me…not that it does any harm, it just doesn’t feel organised properly…it’s a personal thing)
I see that next to each item you can link to the user, just like in del.icio.us, but you can’t see a list of other users who also bookmarked that item (as I mentioned in my post this isn’t as important for Tagifieds).

del.icio.us doesn’t include user links in there tagcloud or tagset, then again they don’t have a user list at all.

I thought it worthwhile to mention that I have just implemented a few changes to the system, outlined here. Specifically, I’m no longer using the “~” and “#” prefixes and have moved to “user:” and “group:” prefixes. This is because I’ve restricted the characters allowed in tags to make them URL-friendly. I’ve also implemented the “private” tag as a universal privacy tag that can act either in group or user scopes.

As for the value of sharing personal notes, you’re right that it’s fairly minimal, but tagging is useful in its own right as a personal organizational tool. I use tagifieds to keep to-do lists and notes, all of which are tagged private. Sometimes my notes end up being worthy of sharing with other people, at which time I format them nicely and switch them to public.

You mention that you’d prefer to see usernames as a separate list from the tags themselves - can you say more about that? I’m interested in where you’re going with that.

At any rate, thanks for the positive review. Cheers!
