Tags vs. Categories

Posted in Observations,Tech,Thoughts — by Don on 09/27/07

So the new version of WordPress supports tagging, which is cool I guess, but I already have categories. What’s the difference?

I’ve been looking around and can’t really find a definitive answer, so here is how I will use them for the time being. I will use categories for broad organization, then narrow it down with tags. I think.

Sure tags help with Technorati searches and whatnot, but I still don’t understand it. If anyone else does, please ‘splain for me.

By the way, you are reading this and I’m at PodCamp SoCal. Full report to follow later in the day or tomorrow. Check back!

    Ok, I’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t figure out the difference…

    When I was at WordCamp last year they talked about tagging and Ultimate Tag Warrior as if they were the greatest thing since sliced bread…

    But I’m like you, with categories already what’s the big deal about tags?
