This is from a Facebook App called Puzzlebee. You can share your photos with friends as puzzles. You can also tag puzzles, but first you have to pass a tagging test.
Bad tag! Bad tag! No no no!
I mean, come on. Isn’t that the point of tagging? That I can tag something as “Fred” if I want my friend Fred to view it? Or that I can create my own shorthand (TBR = to be read)? I do this with tagging, and I don’t consider myself misleading other people, because those tags are created for searching purposes, not browsing purposes.
I could see librarians leaping on this idea of creating tagging tests before users could contribute tags to a catalog. However, rather than improving the user experience, it’ll be one more hoop that we would be creating for users to jump through. Just say NO!
