• Why today is special– Its BarCampMumbai– I have hacked 1 day 2 nights for it.– Like the true BarCamp tradition working on
the presentation after arriving at the venue
– …Yup so its special for me.
• Yet another Web2.0 Application
• I am growing sick of Web2.0
• Okie ! No more of Web2.0 as I continue
• Lets discuss about…– Tags– Folksonomy– TagCloud
– Yup our favorites ( Flickr, Del.icio.us, etc )
• The point I want to make– Tags are coOL (most of you would agree)– Much needed METADATA
– But something is missing dude…
• Whats missing…– Some way to extract information you need
• We have TagClouds for it !
• Are they the most functinal way to extract information?
– I don’t feel so !
• What can be done…
• How about improving the usability of the TagCloud
• How…?– Ajax– Prototype– Eye Candy ( Script.aculo.us )
• What do we get ?
– TagSurfer
• Make sure there is enough wind (tags)
• Just enjoy surfing through your tags
• Is that it ?
– Well, no ! I wont leave you there
– How about a DEMO <a small one though>
• Here it is !– In the form of a wordpress plugin – http://akshay.zeeblo.com/tagsurfer.zip– Download and install !– Dude wordpress doesn’t have Tags?
• It considers Wordpress categories as Tags :p• And its doesn’t mess your categories.
– Try this: http://akshay.zeeblo.com/soc/
• Lets try and build on this…
• What can be done?
• Thnks everyone for this wonderful opportunity….!
