For Max- a quick adaptation of Technorati on tags. (Note I have basically adapted it for your use.)

What’s a tag?
Think of a tag as a simple category name. People can categorize their posts, photos and videos with any tag that makes sense.

Where does the stuff on Technorati Tag pages come from?

Anyone with a blog can contribute to Technorati Tag pages. There are two ways to contribute:

If your blog software supports categories and RSS/Atom feeds (like Movable Type, WordPress, TypePad, Blogware, Radio), just use the included category system and make sure you are publishing RSS/Atom feeds and your categories will be read as tags.

If your blog software doesn’t support categories or you’re not sure, you can still participate. To associate a post with a Technorati Tag all you have to do is tag your post by including a special link in the body of your post. Please note that two word tags should be joined by a “+”. For example:

[sampletagname]
[sampletagname sampletagname]

wayne porter

The [sampletagname] can be anything you want, but it should be descriptive as possible. ONLY use tags that are relevant to your post. Nor do need to include the brackets, just the descriptive keyword for your post. Just make sure to include rel=”tag”. In general Do NOT TAG words that are not in your post.

Nor do you have to link to Technorati. You can link to any web page that ends in a tag - even your own site. For example, these tag links would also be included:

iPod
Orkut
Huntington

On Pinging

Once you have posted the tagged post, there are two ways to have your post included on a Technorati Tag page:

If your blog software is configured to ping Technorati you are done.

If your blog software does not support automatic pinging, or if you haven’t set it up yet, or if you’re not sure, you can manually Technorati. You really want to configure your blog software to ping them automatically so you don’t have to do that every time.

How long before it appears?

Your post should appear on the page in a few minutes. They say up to an hour during periods of intense activity). I have found it can take longer than an hour during high volume periods.

Photo Tags, Technorati, Flickr
The photos come from Flickr, an online photo sharing community. If you’d like your photos to appear on Technorati tag pages, join Flickr and post your photos there. Just tag them and set them to public and they’ll appear on Technorati Tag pages under the Photos tab.

Technorati and Videos
The videos come from YouTube. If you’d like your videos to appear on our tag pages, tag your videos on YouTube. Note Word on the street is that Google Video is merging into YouTube and will eventually be phased out. I would not be surprised if we see revenue sharing via Adsense there before the holidays. e.g. pre-roll, post-roll, etc.

People Tagging
The people come from Technorati. If you’d like to appear on those tag pages, join Technorati, claim a blog and use tags in your blog.
