I've just been reading about Smart Tags

Has anyone thought about the impact on tgps and gallery pages?

Didn't MickeySoft abandon them after a public outcry?

www.realnames.com (now out of business - see site) used to do the same sort of thing.

Cheers.

I use and have used them on every page I create since
MS 1st came out with them, dont see any reason not
to add them in just in case they pull a trick or 2 down
the road with it ;)

They seem to have crept in again according to a few reports. I haven't noticed them though. It seems that you will be able to buy words on some sites and microsoft will link to you if the surfer clicks on them. Someone will of course then work out how to do it on mouse over and there goes your productivity.

I havent put any though into them at all but is this the tag that kills them, i had it kicking around from awhile and havent ever seen a reason to include them as i thought the issue was dead ?

I wouldnt worry about them yet. There was a big fuss a while back but i havnt come across them so far.

I don't think SmartTags will ever be a reality... But who knows, with stuff like, damn I can't remember what it's called, but that new shit program the replaces your sponsor links, you know what I'm talkin' about ;)
