Yesterday’s post about what tags should link to has spurred some really interesting discussion. As a result, I’ve mocked up a page that has some of the features and properties I’d like. It’s where you’d be taken if you clicked on a tag at the bottom of one of my posts. (I use “taxonomy” as my example.) It aggregates all of my posts tagged “taxonomy” and includes pointers to the Wikipedia “taxonomy” article, Flickr photos tagged “taxonomy”, and Technorati’s aggregation of everyone’s posts tagged “taxonomy.” One of the advantages of this approach: The page is mine and is (in theory) dynamic, so if Technorati (say) goes out of business, I can change the template and thus not have every page contain a broken link.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to code create such pages automatically. [Tags: tagging tags]
