More on Tags. Project Proposal 1/50.

Sooz has a clever implementation of Technorati tags:

I dabbled with Technorati's new "tags" functionality that combines the latest weblog entries with photos from flickr and links on Del.icio.us. It seemed like a nifty thing to use along with categories on Exploit Boston!'s event listings and announcements. Each entry's category has a little "t" next to it which opens up a results page at Technorati with the latest tidbits around the web about that category. I'm curious to see how long it takes for something to turn up there. The entries I added recently with the "Central Square" tag haven't turned up just yet.

Take a look at Exploit Boston!'s posts and you'll see links to the tags next to her categories on each post.  Which got me thinking...

Proposal 1/50 (story behind the proposal thing).
Does anyone want to take on a small project where we syndicate a feed of events into a blog, where each event entered into our directory is automatically posted to a blog post? We collect keywords when someone enters an event, which would make perfect technorati tag links.  Or is there a way to get non blog RSS feeds into technorati?

BTW, Sooz. I added Exploit Boston! to the top of the WormtownNightlife Forum's. Let me know the kind of traffic you see from there. It gets about 10k page views daily.

Hey Pete, thanks for the link! Regarding your curiosity about how much traffic it sent over yesterday, it looks like there were two unique visitors according to my Urchin stats. I wonder how many Worcester area people go to Boston for events and the other way around.
