What is Tagging?
Tags are keywords given to bookmarks that act like labels for making them easy to find later. Instead of making a folder with a name and putting bookmarks into it, you give tags to bookmarks to describe the website they point to. Individual tags are separated by commas, so they can have spaces and special characters. Some tag examples are: food, Romeo & Juliet, best in show.
Organizing Without Thinking
Each tag someone gives a bookmark is a way to find that bookmark when you need it. Just by searching for a tag or clicking it, you instantly find all bookmarks with that tag in your collection or from all users. Tags allow you to reorganize bookmarks just the way you need them at any time, without even trying.
Adding Tags
You can add tags in a couple of ways when you edit the details for a bookmark: by typing them or by selecting from your tags in the Tag Viewer.
When you start to type a tag, Ma.gnolia tries to find the tags in your collection that start with the letters you are typing. When it finds one or more matches, you will see them in a list that appears. Just select and click or press the TAB key to add the selected tag to the list. Tag Type-ahead helps you keep tags consistent and saves you keystrokes.
The second way to add tags is to add them from the Tag Viewer a little lower on the page. The blue tags are those that are not assigned to the bookmark you are editing, so when you click them they are added. Tags that have been added to the bookmark are green, and clicking those tags will remove them from the list of tags for this bookmark. It's like an on-off switch for adding and removing tags.
Finding Through Tags
When you click a tag in Ma.gnolia, it's an instant search for bookmarks that have that tag. Combine tags in your searches, and you've got a way to create instant lists of just the bookmarks you need, whatever the occasion.
