[TagCommons-WG] ActiveTags: making use of Tags anywhere on the Web

[Stephan Hagemann]

Hi all,

As part of my dissertation I have developed a Firefox extension, which
allows you to make use of tags anywhere on the Web. It is called ActiveTags.
Based on the tags of a Web page, relevant mashups are automatically shown. A
few tags can lead to maps, book information, or similar resources being
shown. Where such connections do not exist, they can be created by the
users.

I see this tool as being complementary to the work of the TagCommons working
group: We need a common semantics and we need the tools to make use of the
meaning stored in tags.

Since the extension is still under development, I would love to hear your
feedback! If you are interested in the extension: you can get more
information and install it from here: http://bananathinking.net/ActiveTags

If you try the extension I am very thankful if you fill out the accompanying
questionnaire:

I very much appreciate your feedback!

Best Regards,
Stephan Hagemann
