labortech tagging experiment
Here's where I think del.icio.us gets really good. About a year ago, some folks in the non-profit world had the idea of tagging everything pertinent to non-profit technology efforts with the specifically created "nptech" tag (for the Web2.0 buzzword fans, that's the folksonomy being developed). I liked this idea - it gives folks within the "nptech" community a really quick way to identify eachother and worthwhile content, paving the way for future community-members to access material easily. (original thread & about it.)
Soooo… proposal: let the del.icio.us users amongst us start using the "labortech" tag. Like "nptech", we can use it whenever we spot something relevant to the implementation of IT by labor unions. I started today.

By the way - you know how big changes have been made by seemingly inconsequential buzzwords? Maybe we can start making our own.

tagging!
I think this is a great idea.
I have been trying to do it with tecnorati: http://technorati.com/tag/UnionHero
and delicious: http://del.icio.us/MarkDilley/Union
are a couple. I will start tagging LaborTech for the experiment!
Nifty
Took this for a test drive. First time I've used it. Don't know how to tag when I run across content though, have to figure it out. Thanks.
Are you using Firefox?
If so, there's a nifty extension you can install to make adding tags to del.icio.us very painless.
Don't forget the "laborradio" tag
I had proposed a laborradio tag used so the folks at WIN radio could get a feed. See http://www.communicateordie.com/node/148. Which reminds me, I need to start doing tagging news stories with that again.
