Leaptag – new tagging tool

LeapTag is a toolbar for your web browser that lets you tag sites that you already use or come across and like, using the data to help you discover new ones based on the stuff you’ve tagged. Upon installing the LeapTag software, which provides a toolbar for IE and Firefox on Windows or just Firefox on the Mac, you are taken to a quick start page. Here you enter a master tag (i.e. “art”) and 3 relevant search queries. By opening up the sidebar and clicking on your master tag (”art”), a new page pops up and populates a list of potentially interesting things. Review the list, and click on either “Love it,” “Hate it” or “Remove.”

One the other side, there is a ‘Tag It!’ button that sits beside your address bar, and you simply click on it when you come across an interesting webpage and tag it. You can either create a new tag or attach it to one of the master tags you created when you first installed it. Basically, doing all this feeds the LeapTag system with the appropriate data on what you like/dislike, and at some point when you click on the master tag in the side bar, it starts throwing out results that you will ’supposedly’ like, according to what you’ve told it.

You will be able to use LeapTag to share your tags with friends. When you share a tag, each person you invite to join your group can tag the sites, articles etc. they are interested in, which will grow the overall quality of the shared tag. Each member of the group can also comment on their votes, allowing the group to communicate about the items they tagged and the interest you are building together.
