Social-Network Tag

Question

I was looking through the tags to see what else might be appropriate to add to a post only tagged with social-network. The description for that tag reads:

This tag is appropriate for questions dealing with communities on social networks. It is also appropriate to add more specific tags such as the exact social network being utilized.

So I looked for other social networks to use as tags. There is one for facebook and another for blog. There is nothing for websites in general, though there is a web-forums one. What's a web-forum? I suppose SE is one...and other bulletin boards.

The question dealt with Twitter and boom, there is no Twitter tag. No Instagram either. Is it time to do some updating?

Can we add a Twitter tag? Anything else?

Edited to add:

I wanted to add it to this question: Establishing yourself in "Regular" and NSFW communities

Twitter: While I haven't gone through them all, there are 59 posts on the site that mention the word Twitter. I assume a reasonable percentage of them would benefit from the tag.

Instagram: 8 posts that mention the word Instagram.

Snapchat: 1 snapchat (my teen uses that one a lot so it's just going to get more popular).

Wordpress: 19 posts mentioning Wordpress. These can go under "blog" but talking about the general care and feeding of a blog is very different from talking about technical issues regarding the software. I'd recommend both tags.

Answer 1

Posts that would benefit from the Twitter tag:

I created the tag on this post, which has been approved: Establishing yourself in "Regular" and NSFW communities

There are 59 posts containing the word "twitter." I assumed these were questions but it turns out answers are counted here as well. So there are not as many questions as I thought.

These are the ones I would like to add the new twitter tag to.

• What's going on with Twitter following limit per day?
• How should a tech company communicate on Twitter?
• Cross posting to Twitter, Facebook, etc. for more exposure and growth
• Strategies for keeping multiple platforms in sync?
• Define strategy to social networks targeting multiple countries
• Steal Hashtags in social networks as guerrilla strategy
• Create a community in a twitch lifestream
• Is superfluous content an indicator of anything in social media?

Posts that maybe should have a twitter tag:

• How can I deal with a user harassing me off-site?
• Ways to notify interested autistic contacts of next meetings
• Determine where my traffic is coming from?

Posts I don't think need a twitter tag:

• new community - How to build the audience little by little
• What to do when a child contacts you?
• Increasing Engagement on a new Gaming Blog
• Build a "liking" feature that best fosters an active community
• Invoking the Streisand Effect - A personal response?
• How to leverage reputation systems of other communities to encourage participation in your own

Answer 2

Snapchat Tag

There is only one mention of Snapchat and it's in an answer. So there is no need for a tag at this time.

I will say though that when I asked my teen (an expert! aren't they all?) about this issue and which social media platforms might need tags, she was adamant that Snapchat be included. Because teens use it a lot. Which means that 10 years from now, it will be part of the adult community.

But until we get a post that talks about it, I say let's hold off on the tag.

Answer 3

Wordpress Tag

Of the 19 mentions of Wordpress on the site, 7 are questions.

I created the tag using this post: Wordpress comments vs Forum

I would also like to add the wordpress tag to these questions:

• Wordpress Anti-spam measures?
• Strategies for keeping multiple platforms in sync?
• Increasing Engagement on a new Gaming Blog
• Embedded comments on a blog - in place commenting vs dedicated forum

I do not feel a wordpress tag is needed for these posts:

• How can I promote my Mumford and Sons Fan Group?
• What is the expiration date for featured content?

Answer 4

Youtube Tag

There are 15 mentions of youtube.

I created a youtube tag for this question: Strategies for keeping multiple platforms in sync?

I went ahead and created the tag because I was already editing the above question to add existing tags to it and it made sense to do it all together.

None of the other questions mentioning Youtube are asking anything that has to do with Youtube specifically.

If this is too specific a tag, reject it. But Youtube is a legitimate community where people have discussions (in comments) about videos posted there, and there are tech issues with posting, syncing, etc. So I expect to see more questions about it.

video-sites or video-social-network might be another option, with synonyms for youtube and vine and whatever else might pop up.

Answer 5

Instagram Tag

I created the instagram tag by editing Ideas on how to create interest/community for a photography website?

The other question mentioning Instagram does not appear to need a tag. Build a "liking" feature that best fosters an active community
