Technorati Tags
« Quoted in Article on Comment Spam | Main | "If you got ice cream make it a double scoop" »
I was curious when Technorati introduced their Technorati Tags.
Here I'm thinking, well, if they're grabbing my RSS 2.0 feed, they should pickup the appropriate information from the <category/> tags. After all, they talk about it in terms of categories and the <category/> tag is an element in the RSS 2.0 specification. There's also a <category/> construct in the latest Atom syndication format. Apparently, Tim Bray is also investigating the Technorati Tags and I guess you have to use the <dc:subject/> namespaced element. I didn't find that on Technorati's page describing more on tags. Why <dc:subject/> as opposed to the <category/> tag that's already a part of the RSS specification?If your blog software supports categories and RSS/Atom (like Movable Type, WordPress, TypePad, Blogware, Radio), just use the included category system and make sure you're publishing RSS/Atom and we'll automatically include your posts! Your categories will be read as tags.
