Tag your favorite SL places with Sloog

VTOR readers and SL residents familiar with the popular tagging service del.icio.us might want to stop by the Mosi Mosi sim (pictured above) and get your free Sloog HUD. With this HUD, you’ll be able to tag places and have them aggregated to your own page. You can also tag items privately so they aren’t shared with others.

The commands to tag separated by spaces and multiple words enclosed in quotes:

/7 tag: example “multiple keywords”

I tagged a few different places for an example. These were all moved to my page which you can see here. It was nice not having to register on the website, the HUD builds your page automatically after you tag your first item. An error message will appear if you try to visit your page if you haven’t tagged a location yet. You can click on a lock graphic and make your tagged entries private, unlocked means it’s shared with everybody. Pages are created in the format of:

sloog.org/users/SL_NAME

From the web, potential visitors can see where the place is in a mini-map that looks like this for our VTOReality.com location:
