Do you know about #tagboard?
It’s an easy way to search by hashtag (simply: tag) across ALL platforms. Simple, right? Pretty cool stuff.
People are already using tags in every environment – so here’s a way to view the entire stream.
It makes it very easy to follow certain themes anywhere and everywhere. For example, look at the tagboard for #portlandtheatre.
You can then embed these views anywhere.
If tags are the new URL, as a marketer and brander you want to get your audience using tags unique to you. For example, OSF shepherds people to use custom tags for shows like #FingersmithOSF, #PericlesOSF, #LongDaysJourneyOSF, etc. Once people are using them, it becomes very easy to filter that stream.
This is a great example of free technology that gives you something it would otherwise take a lot of work to create. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Use tagboard to look at the entire stream.
