For some reason every Web 2.0 application I have ever used, and pretty much every web application period (that I’ve used) fails me on this one stickler that I have. Let me update my data in bulk. Spending hours tagging photos, bookmarks, and the like is not what I think of as convienient, ‘cool’, or fun. If I wanted to do that, I’d use paper and scribble every URL on a post-it note and throw it in a hat for tag-soup. Really, why add AJAX if I can’t add the same tag to many different items at once without going to another page? Why have a really nice fading modal box for deletion if it still refreshes the page (ma.gnolia)?
A lot of these applications are very sweet, money making ideas but frankly, until I can do everything with ease… I won’t use the application nearly as much. When I can right click a link in the browser, tag it, and send it on its way I will be a little happier. When I can tag a ton of items at once, and add/edit/delete them on the fly, I will be willing to pay for the service. Unless of course it costs more than a candybar a week, cause then I just can’t justify it… I’ll build it myself.
Just kidding, sometimes.
