TagSurfer
Extending the TagCloud
Short Description:
TagSurfer is a TagCloud with added functionality of surfing through the tags. Its more like getting deeper and deeper within the tagcloud.
Motivation:
Unlike categories which are strict in nature tags are flexible. Flexibility of tags also comes from the fact that we use multiple words (keywords) to define a single item.
eg: barcamp barcampmumbai tagsurfer hacks
Now I would love to have a mechanism by which I could actually find some related content or may be jst digg some content.
TagClouds is a good way of doing it. Its intutive and looks good. But seriously its jst 1D… I click on one tag and I am jst shown entries tagged with that particular tag.
As the number of tags entries (or no. of entries in ur blogs or photoblogs ) increases one would surely need more intutive UIs than TagClouds
Technology Used:
PHP + Prototype Library (Ajax ;-)
