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
