Tagging Microlearning 2005 and BlogWalk 9.0
Martin Lindner asked me to summarize our idea how to tag our content about Microlearning 2005 and BlogWalk 9.0, so that we can stay in touch, develop new ideas and maintain a web-based discourse on the topics.
At the end of BlogWalk 9.0, we came to the conclusion that it would make sense to tag photos, postings, links and so on with both "Microlearning" and "Microlearning2005", or "Blogwalk" and "Blogwalk9", respectively. This enables people to choose if they want to see all Blogwalk photos, or just photos from Blogwalk 9.0.
You can tag your photos with Flickr, Buzznet or 23people, for example.
It is also possible to tag any blog post, regardless of the blogging system, if your blog gets indexed by Technorati. Just use Technorati Tags to tag your posts. This is how it is done: At the end of your blog posting, just insert the following code for any tag you'd like to include:
So, if you'd want to tag your posts with "Microlearning", "Microlearning2005", "BlogWalk", and "Blogwalk9" like I am doing now, you would use
You can also use a bookmarklet for tagging your posts, so you don't have to enter all that code. Just drag & drop this bookmarklet to your browser and click it in order to enter your tags: Technorati Tags Bookmarklet. Seperate different tags with spaces.
Each of Technorati's Tag Pages also has an RSS feed which is publicly available and contains all the posts. Unfortunately, you have to subscribe to the del.icio.us and flickr tag feeds seperately, because the Technorati feeds only show weblog postings.
You can also generate RSS feeds with keywords instead of tags. This means that you will also find entries which use the term "microlearning" in the posting, for example, even if they are not tagged with that term. Just like a technorati search. In order to do this, you'd have to get an account at Technorati and add these terms to your watchlist, and you'll get an RSS feed then. I already did this for the terms "Microlearning" (RSS) and "BlogWalk" (RSS), so you can just use these liberated feeds without having to register.
