| a semi-epiphany on tags |
|
dyno says: |
this just occurred to me. when using tags think macro to micro, as if you have to communicate the item to someone who can't see it using only single words.
for example, if you sell a sweater begin to describe the item by breaking it down from general to narrow:
sweater (item)
wool (material)
cardigan (type)
fine or thin (type of knit)
blue (color)
tan (color)
stripe (design)
medium (size)
fitted (style/fit)
classic (style)
feminine (style)
casual (occasion)
office (possible use)
that's 13 words. :)
maybe that's one way to approach it. |

This is indeed an excellent method for using tags -- especially since it fits perfectly with v2's new category system... |

ooh, I love this idea, as I struggle hugely to come up with tags. I do soldered pendants and charms for original acrylic collages, so I never know what to say.
Trying it:
Pendant (item)
glass (material)
canvas (type)
collage (type )
blue (color)
greens (color)
humor (design)
small (size)
Gift(style/fit)
Original (style)
Charm (possible use)
zipperpull(possible use)
keychain(possible use)
hmmm... I'll try it! |
