Petition: Open letter to Bovinehost

[GHWelles]

Who agrees with me, that we should send a Petition to Bovinehost about the Tag Cloud.

The Petition would be that "Wonderdog" should be included in the Tag Cloud.

Vote "Yes" or "No" . Vote Yes

 

[Oldtoe]

What's a "Tag Cloud" anyway?

 

[TNT]

What are your qualifications??

Have you taken any "special interest" money in the past??

I think it would cheapen the Wonderdog brand.

 

[NickDuBaldo]

It'd get more people to fear the invocation of your name.

 

[Slingy]

If you start enough threads with wonderdog in the title, then it will appear. I don't like tag clouds though.

 

[Dead-Eye]

Can I vote to get rid of it altogether? In my opinion one of the truly pointless inventions of the Web 2.0 era.

Well I think Wonderdog, Pete and Nick DuBaldo, and well fingbeagles should be there as well, by the way I voted yes

 

[Chewie]

Just gotta add tags to your posts. eventually they'll appear in the cloud.

Not sure I like the tag cloud either, but they do supposedly help with SEO and so in that interest..... gotta leave it for a few months and then check with google again to see if anything changed.


Edit:

Oh yeah and they do make searching the forums easier if everyone uses descriptive and to the point tags. Putting the tag cloud up was my subtle way of telling people to tag their posts

 

[fogman]

well hell!!!!

i think there are way more threads with Fogster, Foggy, Fogman.......as the opening title or lines.

and isn't FOG basically a CLOUD anyways????

 

[Oldtoe]

I still don't think I understand, but that's normal.

so what you're saying then is, don't tag all the EVH threads then!!!

The tag cloud that Wonderdog shared with us is missing an important word.

Bongo.

WTF, guys.....

I'm not sure how I feel about the tag clouds either, but as long as people are adding accurate tags to their threads that they start, then it will actually help the search engine locate things in the forum and possibly organize it better.

 

[GHWelles]

thanks Beth!!!!
