There are moments where you just don’t know what you’re looking for. Well, to help you during these troubled times, we've added a new feature for your brink surfing pleasure.

Brink now has a tagging feature. When you don’t exactly know what you’re looking for – or when you have a subject in mind -– try searching for tags.  Here's how it works: when you enter a story, video, image, or any other kind of content, we ask for three keywords.  These are also known as tags.  Users can submit tags to any media as well.  These collected keywords form word clouds. Inside the clouds, the tags are hot to our tag search.

To see the word cloud ( “CLOUDAMATIC”) you must enter up to 3 keywords.  Try it out! We want you to tag away!

  • "Word clouds." I love it!
    My thoughts were reeling in a cloud of words that began falling over the Land of Lucidity, Mystified, I stumbled into the "web of words" that is human existence. Yes... yes..., "word clouds." I like the tag idea and love the clouds.

    When you've clicked a tag in the cloud, the cloud should be displayed prominently on the next page with that particular word highligted along with any "overlapping" clouds. Ya know, to aid you in cliking through the site.

    Pre-tagging articles and requiring tagging at submission time would be ideas. Actually dont know if you do this at the moment... As I havent submitted stuff for a while... whatever...

    Furthermore, maybe showing the cloud per default and have the tagging fields more "voluntary" underneath would aid in people "getting the point"

    My 2 cents and a dollar

    We do ask people to pretag the articles - but you are right - maybe we should show the tag cloud, empty or not, right on the page.... and highlight the new words, or maybe... we should build a flash widget that lets people enter their tags right on the cloud???
