Ooh Amazon has tags now
Feb 23rd, 2006 by Karen
I visited Amazon.com for the first time in a week or so. (I’ve stayed away lest I be tempted to buy more books and annoy my spouse.) When I visited I discovered that when you look at records now in Amazon you can add tags. Below is a screenshot I made of it.
It is really cool that Amazon has also gotten into the tagging game. I’ve been using LibraryThing to keep track of my books and it is very helpful to be able to tag them. Mostly I tag whether or not I have read or own something. However, I also like to tag if something is part of a series or if I’ve lent it to something. I’m not sure I want to add this to Amazon, but it is cool that they are giving people this option. My only critique is that the tags box is below the fold on the screen so that makes it more difficult to find. If Amazon was smart they would find some way to make the functionality more easily accessible.
