Technorati tags and delicious monsters
Saturday, 15 July 2006
I am bravely venturing into the world of tagging and social bookmarking.

Have submitted some posts to del.icio.us and have signed up for an account at Technorati.

The main purpose of this post is basically to claim my blog at Technorati, like this:
Technorati Profile

Of course, the biggest drawback of Joomla with regards to this is that it can't ping! Hmm... will have to think of something.

OK, here are the tools that I am using to get my Joomla site halfway there:

There is a brand new plugin (mambot, in the old terms) that has just been released today called SocioBot. It is based on the Tagbot designed by Fijidesigns and it can be found on this site: social bookmarking for Joomla.
It looks as if they are going to do much more work in the area of social bookmarking for Joomla so it is a site well worth watching. Their plugin works first time (you don't need to use the tag in your content, just activate the mambot and set the parameters)

Then there is also ANOTHER pluging called TagBot (available on the Joomla Extensions site), which is not the same as the Tagbot mentioned above. This one changes text that you place between double brackets to technorati tags, like below:

Hi

Just curious if the Tags: technorati has been manually keyed into your site or it is a mambot.

I appreciate you rating our site and plugin (sociotag) and yes we have an interest in taking this to the next level for Joomla users. Interesting you mention the ping problem with Joomla...definately something for my team to look into. We have already been asked to do something about MU for wordpress and Joomla...Tell me more about what you understand about pinging and requirements as a user and I will certainly be looking into this...Have you tried SocioFeed yet?
