At the suggestion of Nancy White, I’ve just posted an introduction to tagging for people who are creating online resources for post-Katrina disaster recovery. It covers some suggestions for tag choice as well as overall tips on tagging. It’s online at You’re It.

What an excellent application/instruction to harness web 2.0 content to communicate
and share knowledge(blogs, bookmarks, photos), especially in the context of disasters
(using the web in a communal way to help each other in times of need)…connecting,
aggregating, and informing by “tag”…read/write web is really shining.
RSS is great for notification, and even as the glue for distributed conversations…and
tags are a great aggregator of user-defined perspective on life.
I guess the important thing with catastrophies is to ride (monitor) the emerging tags of the
situation, and quickly come up with a post, like yours, that sets some suggested tags so
they can help to be aggregated in a few tags, therefore information is less scattered, and
can be found…but I guess not everyone will read You’re It!, so we do, in the end have to
rely on the emerging folksonomy to tease out a few dominant tags the natural way.
I guess the next step is using RSS to present or re-publish (pull together the information
in the tagosphere) in a public aggregator blog or wiki, similar to nptech.
