Google Adds Tagging to My Search History
InsideGoogle blogs that Google has added tagging to their My Search History feature. InsideGoogle suggests that Google could open these bookmarks up to the public so everyone could see what the most popular tagged bookmarks and searches are.Google has silently added a Bookmarks feature to My Search History, enabling you to quickly tag and comment any web page you've visited. If Google in the future opens this up, letting users share their bookmarks and see bookmarking data in searches, we could see something very useful and popular.It was only a matter of time before Google started to compete with social bookmarking websites like del.icio.us and Furl.net. Yahoo also has one called My Web 2.0 -- it launched in June. Many more social bookmarking tools can be found here
To bookmark a page, just visit it through Google Search, get to it in your Search History, and click the star icon. Then click "edit" and type in any tags under the "Labels" heading. You can even add some notes in the box underneath that.
Once you've saved a bunch of sites, you can view them by clicking the Bookmarks heading in the left sidebar. You can show multiple tags at once by clicking all of their check boxes.

YouTube is a Video Sharing Resource
YouTube, which bills itself as "your digital video repository," allows web surfers to upload videos to the site and tag them. The videos can then be shared openly with the public or privately shared only with friends and family. People can search the site to see the videos open to the public. For example, here are all the videos tagged under "dog." The website also listed the most popular and the most discussed videos. YouTube says it accepts video files from most digital cameras and from cell phones in the .AVI, .MOV, and .MPG file formats. Posted on July 25, 2005
