Tags as context

Jeneane posts about using tags to provide commentary on and context for a post, the way some magazines and blogs use headlines to comment on the text. (Doc Searls sometimes does this, and Esquire's Dubious Achievements used this effect to great comic effect.) Such tags may not help us find the posts, but they can help us understand them. They can also make us laugh. [Tags: taxonomy EverythingIsMiscellaneous jeneane_sessum tagging]
