Abstract
Systems (and corresponding methods) that enable use of tagging technology and tag management within a social networking environment are disclosed. These tags can include words, phrases, symbols, pictures, audio clips, video clips or the like. The innovation enables ‘snag-a-tag’ functionality whereby users can ‘snag’ (or copy) tags from other user'"'"'s profiles. Still further, the innovation provides for tag ‘clustering’ where most any algorithm can be employed to relate tags within the environment. The innovation can also provide for identification of ‘common’ as well as ‘unique’ tags which refer to tags in common to or unique within a defined list of profiles.
