Scoop have launched a very nifty and very web2.0 zeitgeist of their own. It’s a little bit digg and a little bit del.icio.us and I like it! Check it out at www.scoopit.co.nz

It’s great to have a NZ version of the social networking / tagging / bookmarking phenomenon and it’s a smart move by Scoop. Scoopit will no doubt drive traffic to scoop.co.nz and Google will eat it up. Indeed it seems there are a few people who have already identified this potential which begs the question - will quality or quantity prevail? On what basis are people voting for each item? It’ll be interesting to see how it pans out over time.

The little ScoopIT widget is an excellent touch. I’ve added mine already (-:

I want me some tags and I want me a tag cloud. And i want it now so I’ve grabbed the ultimate tag warrior plugin (which looks to be a homegrown kiwi wordpress plugin!). had to make a few adjustments to make it play nicelywith the mod_rewrite in the .htaccess but looks to be working now … I think. Hence the waffly post about posting which is about enough of that … time to tag it. See if this little puppy works. The tag cloud on the front page should grow over time and start to show which tags are the most popular (at least with me) and thereby show what the blog is really about (or at least what I think it is about) but also give you the user a nifty alternative way of browsing. Clicking on a given tag will show you all the posts that have been tagged with that tag. Voila.
