Article Excerpt:
On Friday the 23rd, Widgetbox released version 1.4, our fourth major release since going public last October. The most notable new feature is tag-based browsing. When you click in a category, you see a tag cloud with the most popular terms within that category: Tagscreenshot_2 We added tagging because the catalog of widgets had grown to the point where simple categories no longer cut it. We knew we'd get to this point, and we did, and we're happy with how it turned out! Things to note:
  • All our existing widgets have been retroactively tagged.
  • When a new blidget is registered, we look at the blog site and extract tags from it.
When you create or edit a widget, we guide your tag selection in a couple of ways. Way 1: we suggest tags from a tag cloud. Clicking on a tag in the cloud adds it to the widget. Tageditorcloud_2 Way 2: as you type, we auto-suggest tags: Tageditorautosuggest Enjoy!
