Hello all,
I'm pleased to announce the release of the first (to my knowledge)
casual games based tagging website, Millionsofgames.com (MOG).
MOG is a community based bookmarking website for online games, casual
games and downloadable games. We've tried to add in a few features
like keywords and key categories to make things easier for new users.
Keywords are just free-text tags and key categories are suggested,
popular categories. For a specific site such as MOG, it's easy to
pick the key categories as they're going to be things like Arcade,
Sports, Shooter and so on.
We've also tried to build on the communal nature of tags and tagging
to make the most out of the metadata it provides. For MOG, we're able
to amalgamate tags and clicks to create a 'score' for each game,
which means that we're able to rank and sort the data by popularity,
giving us a good idea of what games are being played the most.
About half way through the development of MOG, I found this list and
it's been a huge resource. I've been able to focus on what features
we should support, what problems we're likely to experience as the
site grows in size and what choices, particularly regarding the
database, we should make.
So, thank you to everybody who has contributed to this list, I'd love
to see you all on MOG!
All the best,
duncan
