There is so much to do when you blog. Anything from a touch of writing now and again to developing a network, innovating, categorising, designing,... and worst of all, you have to tag everything you damn well produce so the world and his web2.0 wife can you find you every which way.

All you bloggers fed up with tagging, it could be time to thank a bunch of bright north Londoners for an intervention called Jiglu.

Sign up and see what they can do auto-magically for your tagging.

It looks so easy even I could do it. Sign up, they scrape your site, take ownership of everything you ever wrote and in return you get a set of auto-generated tags so folks can find content on your blog from Jiglu. Kushti.

The Jiglu Terms of Service mention the Billy Bragg 1984 apocalyptic material ownership fear. In true Brit style, they say the apocalyptic reference is only slightly over-blown, ie they don't really own your stuff, but they do have permission to use your material however they can.

To be fair, if you want Jiglu, or anyone else for that matter, to promote your material, I guess you have to compromise somewhere! And anyway, whenever you publish an article, as long as you always include an internal link to an article you wrote, or link back to your homepage, it should be OK to let people use your material as much as possible.

This free tagging service has to be worthy of consideration, methinks. And the Terms of Service are entertaining! I will keep you posted on what happens.

Thanks to Celebrity Insider Photos for having the Jiglu ad in their sidebar and giving me the idea.
