Oh, baby, baby it's a TagWorld
Michael Arrington of TechCrunch reported on TagWorld - a new uber-tagging service. Their vision, from the About page:
build the Social Web by providing a unified set of easy-to-use, web-based services that will let users create and engage in a more meaningful, social experience
Also:
TagWorld sees five fundamental components for building out this new social web infrastructure: people, photos, blogs, tags and storage.
They do a pretty good job at providing an integrated, do-it-all experience, with a slick(er) user interface. The free-form tagging interface is still somewhat lacking to my taste. They have a cool tag-by-selecting-from-a-tag-cloud user interface in some of the areas. Bookmarks, like pretty much everything else, can be tagged as public or private.
The search experience is real pleasure though. A slidebar for indicating the number of results you'd like to see at once. Thumbnails of the web sites in your bookmarks.
The service has a strong "mass consumer" flavor to it. Also, it seems to be one of the only Web 2.0 services developed using .NET technology, and not LAMP. No, I'm not hinting at a connection between the two facts. Almost not all :)
