My first assumption was that my mother would understand what a category is but not a tag. However I choose to call them “tags” because the word is much smaller and more direct. So, the first purpose of these “tags” is to let users dynamically categorize the conversations they are tracking, the second goal is to let people check (by searching) who are tagging (categorizing) conversations with a specific tag term. “you can also give a title and description of your bookmark” Right now it’s not 100% true because the Talk Digger crawler is crawling the web pages to extract the title and the description (in the meta-data or annotated RDF documents) of each page. But I am thinking about a way to let people giving their own title and description for a conversation and aggregating them in a certain way. “In the future I can see searching for conversations with a given tag (browse tags for now), search for terms in the tile and descriptions of bookmarked conversations…this will extend it into a human indexed conversation search engine.” You are right with this assumption, and I would add to that list many search options to search the user database. In fact, I spend much of my time trying to figure out how to create really powerful and flexible user profilse (that way I will be able to extend talk digger to discover social networks within it). If you check the “conversation page”, it is linking to the “seed” web page that “started” the “conversation”. That way, the Talk Digger Conversation Page will “enter” into the discussion by linking to it (so, each TD conversation pages have their own permalink). Also the “commenting feature” let TD users “entering” into the conversation only by leaving a comment on the “conversation” page. I hope that this comment put some light on what I going on! Thanks for everything John, Salutations, Fred Hi John,
