Last night social networking site MyBlogLog has launched tagging as a new feature to its service.
Now users can tag other MyBlogLog (MBL) users as well as communities (blogs). As one can probably expect tags are displayed in a tag cloud. If you don’t know what a tag cloud is about, just have a look at the screenshot below or at the bottom of the left sidebar of this blog; there you will see another example. Users can also see who has tagged them or their MBL community by hovering over a tag. However you can delete any unwelcome tag from your profile page; you can also decide to opt-out of tagging at all.
Tags are old news in the social driven web, though for the first time they allow to discover blogs that deal with similar topics on MBL; the same applies for users. So far there hasn’t been an easy and convenient way to find related blogs. There are also some special tags like schmoe which indicates spam and means Social Media Optimizer (hilarious!), Hot Member which means, erm, Hot Member.
While tagging is not the super cool new feature – though a useful one -, it is the first in a series of more features and updates of MBL.
