It has been roughly one month since I started my little end user tagging experiment, so let's take a look at the results.
Mostly Harmless
Surprisingly, to me anyway, I have much less 'tag spam' than expected. I think I have blown away maybe 40 tags that were spammy (profanity, single letters and gibberish mostly). On the upside every post I have written since quietly going live has been tagged by end users.
My next step is to look at augmenting the built-in WordPress search with the tags that I am gathering. I might just write a replacement search for the site that uses tags and content indexing... who knows.
In case you were wondering
Yes, I am planning on releasing my customized version of UTW as soon as I can. My apologies to Chris Pirillo, things have been crazy yo.
Right now I am using a 3 tier classification structure for my content: categories, author tags and user submitted tags. After a year of collecting this could be very interesting.
