Or rather tags have groups under an hierarchy to which groups someone post. Something like comp.os.linux or comp.lang.python. Oh, wait...
- hendersoon 4y agoThe benefit of tagging over categorization is you can have multiples coupled together. So if you're posting about a Lego set for the new Wonder Woman 1993 flick, you could tag #LEGO, #SUPERHERO, and #MOVIE rather than posting under rec.toys.lego.
- forgotpwd16 4y agoUsenet allowed cross-posting resulting in a unique thread across multiple groups.
- hendersoon 4y agoTrue, but that seems less elegant and Twitter users are already comfortable with tags.
