An interesting post by Chris Pirillo
- I’d also like to see a similar WP plugin for Bookmarking the post in the multitude of social engines (on hover, add to del.icio.us, Digg, Reddit, etc.). I don’t wanna clutter my posts with hundreds of icons, and I believe this is plugin is also within the realm of possibility.
There are plenty of solutions to this, I will probably do a roundup over on Andybeard.eu soon. None are complete solutions, but that isn’t necessarily the plugin author’s fault.
- What about a plugin that takes incoming search terms and auto-tags the post based on those terms (with or without moderation)? So, if a user searches for KeywordXYZ on Google and ultimately visits one of the blog entries, that blog entry will have the KeywordXYZ added to its tag list (via UTW or something).
- I also need a WP tool that recursively goes through my posts which have not already been tagged, then tag the posts with keywords it finds most appropriate (either through the Yahoo! API or internal logic) - almost like how the Related Posts plugin works against the posts database automatically?
The Yahoo API has some limitations. Using UTWs interface atm, quite often you will receive an error stating that a post was too long for the API to handle.
A good way of handling auto tagging (with a plugin) is using Sean’s alinks plugin. It can also be achieved by using a specialised desktop application for blogging.
Using search for tags is hazardous, as half the terms are long tail.

I’m new to wordpress and blogging, but I think what would be really cool is to have a plugin that can make putting items on the side of the blogs easier.
Currently it seems I can only use the sidebar widget but if I want to place things outside the main body then I have to use something else. Perhaps there is an easier way but I just dont’ know about it.
