Included here I add a quick Video on how to take advantage of Tags as well as as a Link to the Video that is taken as this is typed.
The Forum has quite a few advantages over competitive Forums, reason being:
1) All data is tagged and indexed (made available by key subjects)
2) You can also search this content on the Web.
3) It will be used for WebSphere specific members so the content is specifically for WebSphere.
i.Interests and sharing of ideas
ii.Blow the horn and see if anyone wants to participate
iii.Have a desire to participate as a member and not as guest.
iv.We learn from each others mistakes
v.Become friends with members and chat through the message boards.
When you setup content you can improve the quality by allowing the content to be:
a)relevant to the terms being searched for
b)considered an authority within its topic
c)Content that has good, useful content
d)Content that will be around for a while
e)Part of a site with lots of information (this is the case)
f)loading quickly so perhaps include pictures with size limits.
g)Content that does not have broken links
h)using keywords (meta tags) that match the content criteria.
Also important is the
a)Relevancy -- How well the content matches a user's query based on the tags.
b)Keywords / Tags -- Search terms that any member can benefit from. A "keyword" usually short 2 to 4 word phrase or key subject.
