Iran tagging
I am going to start tagging posts. I hope that others will make suggestions for tags so that we can have some coherent way of identifying our posts. Please add suggestions to this post. I will keep updating it.
I suggest the following schema to begin with:
Iran tagging
Iran celebrations
Iran health
Iran elections
Iran politics
Iran taxis
Iran daily life
Iran work
Iran what others think
Iran culture
Here is the code. Replace the ?? with < and the !! with >

OK, you asked for it, so here my stubs:
Viewing the current buzz, I think there should be something like 'Foreign Policy' or even 'U.S.' or 'Nukes' as well. (If only to exclude it, once technorati offers the possibility. For the same reason: Religion)
In general, subcategories could be added for each tag, e.g. Iran-Politics-Opposition-Ganji
Wordpress users face the difficulty that the categories by which they organize their site also serve as technorati tags, so subtags could mess up their side bar a bit.
I must admit I have some double feeling about using tags though. They are a great help in searching but they also reproduce some cliché's about what belongs together and what not - what is relevant in a certain context and what isn't.
I agree with your point about tagging. I suggest being a bit more organized about it because the tage "iran" is absolutely ridiculous. It's too broad. Perhaps tagging does tend to oversimplify things, but if we can have a standard, it could be useful. I am going to keep this post updated: so I will add your suggestions now.
