The Beauty of Labels
Conversant uses something called labels which are essentially configurable categories for stories. You may have noticed that some stories on this site have images to the right while others have broken image icons.
You can click on those to find related stories on this web site. If you click on the CD next to the story about the MP3.Com bill, for example, you’ll get a list of all the stories I’ve written about music over the past few months.
The broken images are there because I’ve been sick and haven’t had time to find good images for all of the labels I’ve set up. I should be able to take care of that this weekend.
This is another thing I really like about Conversant — all of my sites, and many of the sites I read on the Internet, are basically stuff I find interesting. As you may have noticed, I find a lot of things interesting. Unfortunately when you write 5,000 words a day or so as I’ve been doing recently, it can get difficult to keep track of everything. Labels are just one more feature that makes it easy for me to track down information I need long after I’ve forgotten that I even wrote it.
