Tags are great. So many sites use them these days and they're a wonderfully open-ended, community maintained way of organizing and finding content. The one problem I have with tags, personally, is that as things grow and a tag is popular, they're not actually helpful. For example, say I'm searching for all content with the tag 'upload', and let's say they're 50 items tagged with upload. Now what? As is, I can't even figure out how the bakery organizes the content list of a particular tag. It seems to be chronological, but (http://bakery.cakephp.org/tags/view/behavior) clearly this isn't always the case. Maybe there is something else going on under the hood, but it isn't helping me identify what I'm looking for. I'm thinking two things. One, display content of a tag a little different, perhaps rather than chronologically, or alphabetically even, first, break up the content according the the static structure. Then, within those categories, perhaps the order can be displayed according to how many users have marked the code as 'used' (this touches on an idea in another ticket). Maybe even offer an option of sorting by Popularity (use), Activity (revisions/commentary), Alphabetical or Chronological. The real magic here is doing and designing it in a way that appears quite simple and sane and functional up front, but then allows the user to get as custom and deeper as needed. ##Example Running with the reference to the tag 'upload' above, which currently results in 9 different items -- it'd be much more helpful if the results were organized as follows (note I wouldn't display the results as an unordered list just doing this to demonstrate the organization, and the use numbers are made up -- my apologies for the implications that few people use any particular one ;) ): ###Search for "upload" returned 9 results: * Behaviors * Image (58 people use this) * MeioUpload (24 people use this) * Image Behavior (2 people use this) * Components * SwfUpload & Multipurpose Uploader (14 people use this) * File Upload Component w/ Automagic (3 people use this) * Helpers * Comfortable AjaxUploads (1 person uses this) * Plugins * Media (14,538 people use this) * jQuery image upload & crop (1,201 people use this) * YUI Uploader (4 people use this)
