meme - Top twenty tags?
Sep. 22nd, 2005 03:10 pmWhat are your top twenty tags? Do they accurately represent your life?
The regularly used ones are life, meme, invitation, wittering, gakked, whine, review, introspection, rant and work. These will overtake the one-offs as I lj for longer.
What do you use? Is meta different to lj[1]? Should wittering be 'thoughts', 'witterings', 'random', 'stream-of-consciousness' or what?
[1] OK, *here* it is, but will I ever use it again?

| Life | 26 | Writing about things I've done. A good tag to be top, though I'd hoped I'd have more essays. OTOH, there's often overlap; I write about what I've done. |
| film | 14 | Hmmm. Not a good 2nd. But every film gets two -- an invitation and a review. And being shorter than a book are easier to see, then review. |
| one-liner | 13 | Tin says. It does. |
| meme | 11 | Inevitable. |
| invitation | 11 | Wow. |
| witterings | 11 | This is for 'what I happen to be thinking'. Some are fairly deep, some are 'Hey, wow, ducks!' |
| gakked | 11 | Links or copied content. Related to meme, but with no personal content. |
| whine | 9 | When I'm being all 14-year-old-girl. |
| review | 9 | I do a fair number of these. |
| tech | 8 | Computer-related stuff of varying depth, including some from work. |
| firefly | 8 | It's cool, it deserves the top 20. Also, each watching has a few reschedules, plus the film having three reviews with different levels of spoilers. |
| introspection | 8 | Thinking about who I am. I do this a lot. |
| bike | 5 | Soon it will all be fixed and I'll have nothing to say. |
| worldcon | 5 | This happened about the time I started with tags and tagged everything that week. |
| work | 5 | Things from work, both about work itself, and colleages, and quotes, and random stuff. |
| belated | 4 | When I write something up later. |
| serenity | 4 | WOOOOOOOOOOO! |
| rant | 3 | Rants are not whines. Rants are intended to be amusing over-the-top characatures of yelling at NTL, etc. See Best page in the universe, Dave Barry, Bill Brighton, or someone. |
| lj | 3 | Is lj different to meta? |
| books | 3 | I need more of these. Soon I will review all my twentyish favorite books one at a time. |
no subject
Date: 2005-09-22 05:55 pm (UTC)what you want there is searching among subjects
Yeah... But what if your post deals with several specific subjects in such a way it's hard to put them in the title? To take an extreme example, if you had a post titled "Films that are foo", someone searching might want to find that post if they searched for the films, if not so much as they'd want to find a post about that film only.
