Exactly. For instance, if a user is typing in a blog post, right now the flow would be:
1) User submits post
2) I create a page for their post
3) I call your API to analyze the page
4) I update the page with the auto-tags
5) I redirect the user to the post
This is kind of slow. I could do it with AJAX calls too, but it's still an awkward flow. A better flow would be:
1) User submits post.
2) I pass the text of the post to your service.
3) You analyze the text and send me back the tags.
4) I add the tags into the post and create the URL.
5) I redirect the user to the URL.
This is a much more natural flow.
There are other solutions in this space, like Zemanta, but they generally suck. If I enter a term like "social network" into Zemanta it will tell me Google Buzz is a tag... which is ridiculous.
