Another late-night idea: assigning metatags to online conversations, more specific – to chat logs.
How many valuable information will be lost, when people chatting online – a good tip for travelling, a valuable URL, anything.
Yep, there are client-side solutions to this – a IM logs, URL collectors etc. But I was thinking to do it server-side.
Most chat servers can be configured to store their chat logs in database (Drupal chatbox, a IRC bots etc. All we have to do is apply a filter to a chatlog to find relevant metatags. The filter could be the same what we planning to use on automatic node tagging.
Manual alternative to this is a classic IRC topic command, but this time the topic will be related to terms in taxonomy.
An example is my travel site Trip.ee where I have set up an IRC client. Most of the topics people speak about are gegraphical locations (“Let's do West Afica”) or travel style (“wanna work in Spain”). Exactly the terms I have defined in meta.module – Afica > West Africa and Travel styles > Work abroad
