PRESS RELEASEHubTag.com makes it easy for everyone to find photos, videos and blog posts after an event.
Hubtag.com goes live on the web today 19 March 2007.
This free web tool lets visitors create unique “HubTags” – words that are currently unknown across the whole internet – to use as tags when running an event like a concert, conference or wedding.
It works when all participants at the event upload their photos to a sharing site like Flickr, or videos to YouTube, or write about the event in their Blog. Each time they do so they “tag” (or label) each item with the unique HubTag. Then anyone who went to the event can then use Google to find any photos, videos or blog entries related to that event, simply by searching on the HubTag. For a bride after a wedding it would mean she can pick her best photos from those taken by all the guests not just those from the official photographer.
A great example of HubTags in action is the HubTag: “StPatricksDay2007” – which up until last fortnight was a new word that Google had never heard of. After the day, hundreds of revellers posted their photos to Flickr, “tagging” each snap with the “StPatricksDay2007” HubTag. Now searching Google or Flickr brings back all these photos and blog entries no matter what web site the participants used to upload them.
The HubTag.com online tool itself uses the Google Search AJAX API to do an instant check as-you-type to see whether the HubTag you want to use is unique or not or Google. Then once you have a unique HubTag it will make a nice poster for you to print out or will email it to you so you can forward it to your friends coming to your event. And that’s all it does – simple, effective and free.
