• Why today is special– Its BarCampMumbai– I have hacked 1 day 2 nights for it.– Like the true BarCamp tradition working on

the presentation after arriving at the venue

– …Yup so its special for me.

• Yet another Web2.0 Application

• I am growing sick of Web2.0

• Okie ! No more of Web2.0 as I continue

• Lets discuss about…– Tags– Folksonomy– TagCloud

– Yup our favorites ( Flickr, Del.icio.us, etc )

• The point I want to make– Tags are coOL (most of you would agree)– Much needed METADATA

– But something is missing dude…

• Whats missing…– Some way to extract information you need

• We have TagClouds for it !

• Are they the most functinal way to extract information?

– I don’t feel so !

• What can be done…

• How about improving the usability of the TagCloud

• How…?– Ajax– Prototype– Eye Candy ( Script.aculo.us )

• What do we get ?

– TagSurfer

• Make sure there is enough wind (tags)

• Just enjoy surfing through your tags

• Is that it ?

– Well, no ! I wont leave you there

– How about a DEMO <a small one though>

• Here it is !– In the form of a wordpress plugin – http://akshay.zeeblo.com/tagsurfer.zip– Download and install !– Dude wordpress doesn’t have Tags?

• It considers Wordpress categories as Tags :p• And its doesn’t mess your categories.

– Try this: http://akshay.zeeblo.com/soc/

• Lets try and build on this…

• What can be done?

• Thnks everyone for this wonderful opportunity….!
