My short answers to her questions(See Below) are as follows
1. We use the NPTech tag to highlight news articles that we've seen that would also fit the evolving criteria for our AFP Nonprofit Technology News Blog.
2. Yes we subscribe to the feed to find resources and also to network. We would not however post the feed itself but instead use it as a winnowing device via our aggregator with the additional step of "human" filter.
3. Yes we read the summaries as well as selected posts. To date we skim the postings as opposed to sub searching( not sure if this is a real term) the tag.
4. We tag for both promotion and outreach. As a more general comment we also tag to categorize for future retrival (cataloging) of the material by topic. We find ourselves regularly challenged by the quandry of "broad" vs. "specific" tagging.
Thanks for the ongoing discussion.
Feel free to comment.
Beth's Blog: Cross Blog Discussion: NpTech Tag: "For a
n experiment, here's some conversation questions about the NpTech Tag. Write a blog post reflecting on these questions and tag it with NpTech and we will summarize the key points.
* How are you using the NpTech Tag?
* Do you subscribe to the feed to find resources?
* Do you read the summaries?
* Do you tag items with the NpTech as a form of promotion or outreach?"
