Hello. This is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here.

Rohan,its not the effort, its the understanding the concept, and later the effort. so at first instance it should be clear what does tag means and what is it meant for, and than the effort required to execute the task.

I agree with you Sandy. No need for sub-level tags, Use it as Universal tags.

As for the Indian users not relating with TAGS, Tagging, well, I feel that it might still take some time for the average user to get used to TAGS. but for the techie users, they will be well versed with it as most of them might have used either “Google Reader” or del.icio.us.

Sandesh, on the tagging research! – I think the probable reason is effort. A user is more likely to go in for Instant gratification in personal apps rather than for long term. The more instant the rewards the more likely a user is going to do a task

Hmm good idea.But we have done some basis research and found out words “Tags, tagging” doesnt communicate much to Indian users, i guess thats the reason labels didnt work. So, guess it might work well in US and UK. BTW, Aadesh it will be awesome if you can see work, why people add tags, and at what limits.

- label
–sublevel tags, wont be too much to remember?

Rohan, when we exchange mails with clients, we just use the same subject line, and in gmail, the mails get threaded.

Within those mails, there might me one or two mails that might contain some important information.

While looking for such mails, we normally search view all the mails from that client. This can be cumbersome.

This is where I feel TAGS can play an important note…. You can just tag that mail from the client. so when you click on the LABEL for that client, it will display all the tags related to that LABEL.

It’s just a quick way of finding important mails.

When gmail introduced Lables in place of folders it really lost one very usefull functionality that normal mail applications provided.

I wonder how tagging will improve search, in the light of the fact that it will end up with an additional task.

But overall tagging will add to the options a user has! and users will find even more amazing ways of productively emailing!

Thats a nice idea Aditya…

Tags as such are void of hierarchies. Should there be hierarchy to filter down the search results?
