Re: [Fofredux-devel] Fwd: Changes to functionality?

[Andrew T. <ajt...@hi...>]

Good question:
I would use categories as general "organization" of feeds (since I
subscribe to ~120) like: photography (for my flickr feeds), geo,
programming, design, news. I can then easily read all of my "geo"
feeds, or "photography" feeds.

And then tags would be finer organization. For one, some feeds include
tags in their feed items (photography, boston, outside, funny or php,
howto). Tags would also be for marking as "saved", "toread" etc.

del.icio.us has the idea of "Tags" and "Bundles" , which is kind of
the same, though Bundles are defined by what tags they have.

Searches can be done by specifying: keywords, tags, category,
date/time - any of them inclusive or exclusive.

So, search for: "geocoding" in cat: geo, tags: code, php, ruby

What do you think?
