BlogBridge is a RSS feed reader and blog aggregator that I wrote about last week. As a disclosure, I have no interest, financial or otherwise, in BlogBridge except that I like what they are doing and also respect the founder, Pito Salas. I have now found that BlogBridge also allows you to make it easier to do your tagging and follow your tags of interest. You can create smart feeds to follow specific tags in Flickr, Technorati, Amazon, del.icio.us, and Connotea. This occurs through simple pull downs that make it easy for a non-html person like me. You just put in a title for the smart feed and all the tags you want are collected under it
You can also see what terms are getting the most tags by comparing smart feeds. For example, the term, KM, had only three tags when I set up the smart feed last week while the term, knowledge management, maxed out to the default of 30. This helps to see the emerging standards for a term and guides you as what tags to follow for the topics of your choice.
You can also tag an article or post yourself in BlogBridge by highlighting it and then filling in the tagging information in a pop up box. You can make in appear in del.icio.us or keep it only within Blogbridge. If you find adding tags to the html in your own blog posts difficult, you can tag your own stuff through BlogBridge. You simple subscribe to your own blog to get the posts into Blogbridge and then you tag it like any other blog post or other url within BlogBridge as mentioned above.
I have heard a lot about tags but the thought of adding html to my blog posts was daunting for me so I am pleased to discover this simple way to start tagging.
