Public tagging of blog entries
A great issue came up at today's TLT talk: allowing readers to add tags to your blog post. In my mind I think of this the way flickr can let other users add tags to your photos. Someone might tag a photo as mountain and sky, but I could tag it as green, blue, summer. Not a bad idea to allow this in some way for blog entries. Could be useful for some sort of class activity, no? Do any blogs, or community sites out there do this? Flickr is the only example I can think of. Maybe I just never noticed.

This is a great idea. I do it all the time in Flickr to get items to show up in a tag feed. Could be a little dangerous -- would you need to be authenticated to do this? I am guessing yes.
In addition to flicker, two sites that I use on a daily basis use user generated tags: facebook and slashdot. I know I encounter more, however, at this time I can't think of any. (I apologize for a late response, however, I just happened to stumble across your blog.)
