Lee Bryant on BBC Shared Tags

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

Lee Bryant discusses a project that he and Headshift have done for the BBC, implementing a social tag prototype for the online BBC News:

We have built a social bookmarking tool just for BBC News that allows logged in users to tag/bookmark stories and view related stories that other users have tagged using similar terms.

If you go to any story from the front page and login as 'guest'/'guest' then you can start tagging stories and see how other people have tagged the same story.

The implementation also brings in del.icio.us and Flickr content when you select specific tags. Very cool. Wonder when they are going live with the prototype?
