Climb to the Stars: Tags and Categories are not the Same!

  • Matthias · 3 years ago

    Couldn't agree more. A category groups things together that are in the same, er, category. But a tag does not; it just describes one aspect of one thing.

    MooseCamp tagging session: ends with the difference between tagging and categorization. Good explanation:

    I agree completely and I use them the same way you do. I would even go to the extreme that I tag in multiple architectures, blinklist, del.icio.us, blog. I only really have categories on my blog and they are a very small set in comparison.

    Salut, est-ce qu'il y a un moyen que ton greffon utilise la virgule comme séparatateur’ ? J’utilise pas mal des locutions ou simplement des mots composés sur mon autre blog, comme par exemple pour renouveau africain, et l’espace comme séparateur est un mauvais choix, tant sémantique qu’esthétique.


    Merci d’avance de ta réponse.

    Je sais que quelqu'un l'a modifié pour faire ça. Regarde si les commentaires dans le code source t'aident à  le faire toi-même. Sinon regarde dans les commentaires de ce billet ou sur la page wiki.

    Steph,
    I agree with you about the difference between tags and categories. I too have had a rather frustrating exchange of comments with Matt on the subject.
