Do you even think it is really needed? I mean, shouldn't they have their own algorythm to work it out for themselves? So do you guys always add tags to posts, replies, new discussions, photos and so on??

I believe the tags are for us. If I'm looking for a certain topic or discussion I will search tags. It's kinda funny how Facebooks movie comes out and people assume they know what algorithm means HAHAHA!! You cound not use that for tags on what people write. that is why we tag , because WE know what we are writing about NOT the program in which Mylot is built upon.

The program recognises tags. Look at the column over there ---

you are looking at the end result of the program accepting the tags and then doing something with them, we would not have _______________ over there with out US ENTERING TAGS! :D

Yes I do tag. I add tags when I start a discussion of my own and when I respond on those started by others. I even add them to topics that have no tags at all, without participating. Tags make our ropics available for others on the search and in the 'similar topics' column there--- Here is what myLot tell us about tagging: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq9.aspx

Not only will it help you when you start your own topics (you might receive more responses when others see it in that column) but it will also help when you are active in the same topic several times. If you tag the first time that you are asked, you won't be asked again and therefore you save time later on.

Ohkay! There's an interesting reply. I'll make the extra effort to add them in I guess. I mean, it could only help. Thanks for your comment/advice.

i add tags to my discussions. it is a must for me. in my responses though, i do not always tag them.. i usually tags when i notice the creator of the discussion forget to tag his/her discussion but if there is already some tagging, i would skip that part already. he he

I motion on that vote. I like helping people and so on but its a serious shlep to go and have to type in 10 or 15 extra tags every single time you do something, and it also has to make you go to another page...

just add tag that have not added yet...you can see a post is tagged or not. and...about your statement "......go to another page" i don't understand.... what page? another page?

I do tag, almost at every post of mine either in starting a discussion or replying. I see as a necessary requirement but do not really know the advantage of it. I would like to know the advantages of tag every post. Thanks

I do most of the times. As long as its helping our MyLot community its better for us to do this little thing. Although sometimes I forget and close the window right after I post a response. Now I'll do a tag for this response after I post it.

I definitely think it's needed. Humans are often better than machines when processing data, because we can see the difference between keywords and conjunctions and whatnot.

I try to tag as much as possible whether I am responding to a discussion or starting a discussions. Tags are important in SEO process.

dear Only when i really feel like it.However it only takes a second .Mylot is a given i guess the only thing we should do is at least help orangizing all of the discussions and posts and so on.I mean you get paid for doing stuff you already do!Posting tags is the least we can do.I only do it sometimes but the more the better.I like helping out.

Well till now i have never added tags on Mylot comments and posts. And it is upto the users if they can add it on their own.
