Tagging is a very simple process. A tag is a descriptive keyword or term of what you capture.
The
who, what, when, and where is always useful. But, what is it?
Tags
tell a story about the Thought and also about the person who captured the
Thought. Don’t be alarmed to see very emotional words in the Tags, we want the
way people feel about the Thought to be captured as well. There are not a specific number of tags you should use, but the more the better as it will help you and others find the thought.
An example of a well tagged thought could be the following:
The thought was captured today by "ladyluck" and it is about "Pay-as-you-drive Car Insurance."
She tagged the thought car,
tracking,
insurance,
gps,
traffic congestion,
privacy,
drive,
vehicle,
satellite,
alliance,
mileage,
savings,
environmentalists,
tansportation,
premiums,
motorist.
Again, that many tags is not necessary but you can see how well the thought is described. Feel free to add emotional words as well. "ladyluck" could have used "relief" or "exciting" to tag the thought.
Please read the tagging guide found here for more information.
