SearchEngineWatch has a typically thorough assessment of Yahoo!s MyWeb 2.0. Of primary interest to us is the fact that Yahoo! has caught up with AskJeeves and added tagging to its search functionality. As ones who have been floating around the periphery of the tagging debate, we think the use of tags for search - vs. browsing - is an intelligent innovation. In this, we appear to agree with Chris Sherman of SEW, who treats the topic elegantly in the section of his article headed “The Tagging Issue.” We’ll be playing with MyWeb 2.0 over the next few days - so stay tuned for more lengthy commentary.
