Tagaroo is designed to make your WordPress blog better for you, better for your readers and more accessible to search engines. As you’re writing, Tagaroo analyzes the text in your post and suggests intelligent tags for the things and events you’re writing about.

You can use these tags in your post - but even better - you can use these tags to automatically get great images from Flickr to include in your post.

Tagaroo works as a plugin by Calais and makes tagging fun and easy, makes your posts more visually compelling and helps search engines find your content.

What is so special about it?

Metadata in and of itself is not too interesting. Where things get more interesting is what you can do with it. For right now we’ll just provide a few examples of what publishers are doing and planning to do:

Tag your complete historical archives in hours

Perhaps you’re a complete convert to the value of tagging your content and are doing a great job with new material. But what about the tens of thousands to millions of pieces of historical content you have already produced? Several organizations are in the process of feeding their entire historical archives through Calais and automatically generating high-quality tags and metadata. Doing so, they translate a stale content asset into one that can be actively searched and integrated with other content assets.

Improve user search and content searchability

At best, keyword-based search solves a portion of your users’ search needs. Incorporate semantic metadata into your search solution and you can dramatically improve the user search experience – and this doesn’t need to be complicated. Simply process your content and append the resulting metadata to your search index. As a simple example, your users can now search for “IBM” and “Management Change” to receive a complete listing of IBM-related hirings, firings, promotions, transfers and new positions – something barely achievable with keyword-based search.

Improve syndication segmentation

If you syndicate your content to others, you can now offer syndication options based on the highly accurate information contained within your metadata. For example, a business-related feed limited to acquisitions and management changes can be automatically generated.

New information-driven products and services

You know what your clients need. Calais provides the framework for developing value-added products and service for your clients. Content-driven analytics, interactive segmentation, search engine optimization – you’re in the driver’s seat.
