At Gnomedex, Chris asked the community to try using star tags on their tweets in order to create an internal (and external) way of rating (and thus liking or disliking) the content of the tweet. Some people began adding star tags to serious and silly ideas. But I noticed 24 hours later, star tagging had dropped off the radar. [Addition: I guess some of us are baffled as to WHY people won't use them, even though the conference demo was actually humorous, and people temporarily adopted its use].
BTW, *9! |

This is the first time I've heard of using star tags. I'm not a mega-tweeter, but I do visit several times a day. I don't follow a lot of tech people, but I follow a lot of PR and social media types, so I would have thought it would have come up before. It's an interesting idea. |

If someone explains Star Tags to me and how to use them I will |

As far as I know, Chris tried to get people to use them a few weeks back (so to the best of my knowledge, Chris started the whole star tagging idea). In my opinion, it's really unnecessary. If you like a tweet, you can favorite it or retweet it. The only way I see star tagging being used is on a user's own tweets, and can you really trust that a user rated a tweet highly solely because the content was good? |
