%%site.name%% supports
|
|
[tags](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_(metadata)) to help you
|
|
organize your activities here. You can use tags for people and for
|
|
notices.
|
|
|
|
Tagging a notice
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
You can tag a notice using a *hashtag*; a # character followed by
|
|
letters and numbers as well as '.', '-', and '_'. Note that accented
|
|
latin characters are not supported, and non-roman scripts are right out.
|
|
|
|
The HTML for the notice will link to a stream of all the other notices
|
|
with that tag. This can be a great way to keep track of a conversation.
|
|
|
|
The most popular current tags on the site can be found in the [public
|
|
tag cloud](%%action.publictagcloud%%). Their size shows their
|
|
popularity and recency.
|
|
|
|
Tagging yourself
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
You can also add tags for yourself on your [profile
|
|
settings](%%action.profilesettings%%) page. Use single words to
|
|
describe yourself, your experiences and your interest. The tags will
|
|
become links on your profile page to a list of all the users on the
|
|
site who use that same tag. It can be a nice way to find people who
|
|
are related to you geographically or who have a common interest.
|
|
|
|
Tagging your subscriptions
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can also tag your subscriptions, on the subscriptions page. This
|
|
makes it easy to organize your subscriptions into groups and sort
|
|
through them separately.
|
|
|
|
You can also send a notice "to the attention of" everyone you've
|
|
marked with a particular tag (note: *not* people who've marked
|
|
themselves with that tag). "@#family hello" will send a notice to
|
|
everyone you've marked with the tag 'family'. |
