Will some web guru Help Me please!

I’ve started using SocialMarker.com lately and I feel like I am ‘missing out’, all the tagging requirements are different on all the sites it reaches!

I chose the 6 ‘Best’ Bookmarking sites in SocialMarker.com. And tags look like this:

tags on Propeller.com

At least they have clear guidelines. Should there be a space after the comma? What if there is, does it get recorded?

tags on Slashdot

Do whatever you like. Am I missing out?

tags on Digg

We have no tags sorry

tags on Technorati

We like to be Technoratically different. Yeh! Double word tags work here, what about the others?

tags on del.icio.us

We do spaces at del.icio.us. At least they showed me which ones of my tags worked. and I can select from a list - doesn’t help me that social marker automatically put them up with commas and they are not correct. When I went through and removed all the commas, look what happens!

UsableWorld was highlighted in the list of tags I have used before.

tags on StumbleUpon

We use commas so you can stumble over them. Enough t,t t "t" tagging talk - I think you get the picture!

We need some guidelines and some poor person has to go through and rationalise all the tags that are actually the same, please...

With SocialMarker.com make sure that you go all the way through to the confirm listing page on the sites it bookmarks with. A number of times I have stopped short and not got my bookmark.
