With all the tagging hype going around, I thought I'd put my forty-two cents in.

In search of a good noun for a tagged page, as "tag" applies to the descriptors for tagged pages, and "tagged page" & variations are cumbersome.

Tag This Page dialog

Mockup soon.

The Tag Page dialog should present both a text and a mouse interface.

The Tag With text box should present 'tag autocompletion from the created tags

Tag suggest

When tagging a new page, Firefox should scan the page for frequently used words and attempt to match those to the user's tags.

At a loss of sufficient existing tag match, Firefox should generate/suggest tags based upon it's text scan.

En général:

  • Need good word blacklist — and, the, a... (User-editable?)

The word frequency limit should have a static absolute minimum, and a dynamic upper limit depending on several factors; is the browser a fresh install,

Tag management

I am equally divided between a seperate Tag Manager window and an in-browser interface. In both cases, the following should apply.

  • Page previews (more about this in the appropriate section)
  • Drag-and-drop tagging

Page preview

I think an excellent way to ease recognition is with graphical previews of a page

On hierarchy

In effect here are three options:

  • User-mandated manual hierarchy (like F-Spot)
  • Generated pseudo-hierarchy (like the proposed Epiphany patch)
  • Sheer flat-file tags
