New Tagging Features
-------------

- **Cleaner tagging interface** – Since so many members complained about having a tagging box appear underneath each comment, we’ve replaced it with the words “tag this”.  Clicking on that phrase brings up the tagging box where you can enter tags.

- **You can now be notified whenever someone uses a particular tag on omidyar.net.** This addresses the goal of "tracking content in between visits to omidyar.net."  

 - RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and it’s a great way to keep up to date on areas you are interested in on omidyar.net.  Using a feed reader (also called a newsreader or RSS reader or aggregator), you can automatically receive notifications when content, like an omidyar.net discussion, is updated or when something is tagged.  

 - Check this `workspace`_ for how to set up RSS.  

 - Then click on a tag and then select “RSS: tagged” on the bottom left of the window, under “who’s online”.   

 - Then your RSS reader will display the 25 items – like comments – that have been tagged with this tag most recently, and will update each time someone uses this tag.
