Tag Boards suck. Unless you disabled comments on your blog, I find tagboards very useless.

I never really saw the use for tagboards; that’s why there’s a contact form so that visitors could get a hold on the blog author if they want to leave a message completely irrelevant from the posts.

I think tagboards are useful for your site visitors who have a slow intenet connection. Mas mabilis kasi magload ang tagboards instead of clicking view comments, post a comment, publish. Pero ayoko din nung mga exchange links na tag. Most of the bloggers who do that are also the ones who write in text lingo. *headache*

Stupid brownout grrrr. My gaaad, what did I say again? That was long.

Anyway, I don’t like tagboards because…well, but I still use them whenever I’m on a so-called hiatus for people to have somewhere they can leave their “Shari I miss you” messages on, haha.

But the Blog Tutorials article is right. It increases interactivity…just NOT the sensible and focused one….

I’ve never use tag boards, and Im surprised that theyre still around (shouldnt they have been phased out or lost it’s necessity the same way as guestbooks have? :P). But I think they’re okay, as long as they serve a certain purpose. For example, this blog I freuqent has a tagboard; the owner doesnt update on a daily or weekly basis. So instead of posting an irrelevant comment in one of her entries, visitors can just use the tag board.

I don’t put a tag board at my site because I know that it would just be infested with messages like “Hi! Napadaan lang! I hope you’ll visit my site.” or “Link ex?” These messages are irritating! Yes, tag boards are for those people who are lazy to read.

You have a good point here.

To be honest, there are times wherein i am irritated when I read my tag board then puro “padaan” or “link ex?” ang message. I only add those who are actually giving their comments in my posts unless na nga lang kung bigating blogger talaga.

I’m thinking of removing mine too.. hmmmm… Thanks Benj (ur layout is screwed up here in the laptop grrr i dunno why)

Hmmm… I never find much use for it personally that’s why I don’t add them. Aside from the seem to clutter your space as well. Hehe

Good points! I had a tag board for about 3 hours several months ago, until I realized that they were just spam entry points… and never had a repeat of tag board incident ever again.

I like tag boards on OTHER sites, just not on my own, lol. I prefer to centralize the communication around my entries and contact form.

Uhm, wait. There’s something I forgot to mention in my first comment.

I don’t mind the “link ex?” or “bloghop!” messages, as long as it’s posted in my tagboard and not in my comments page. I’ve found many good blogs through these “link exchanges”. So I don’t really mind. These are opportunities for stumbling into a blog which I may want to visit again and again.

I’ve got a tagboard and I find it useful because I can let all the spammers and the lazy blog readers play with it. Hehehe. I do remember that time when I posted something about an actor’s daughter overdosing herself with “diet pills” somebody flamed my tagboard. The person did not even leave a single comment on the comments page. So what was that? That just gave me the impression that the person doing that was just stupid not to know how to use the comments page. Also, I noted that the person didn’t even read the whole article and just went yakking about me not stating the “true” facts, etcetera. Sheesh.

I’ve got Twitter and I just use it to let everybody know what I’m doing. I’m a vain person. Hahaha. But in time, I guess, I’ll get tired of it.

I don’t mind that you loathe tagboards, Benj. You leave good comments in my site. Naks! Did you notice that you’re the top commenter in my blog?

Like what everyone who has a tagboard says here.. we use it for those non-post related comments from the visitors. It’s irritating to see a “Padaan. Link ex?” message in your comments. Yeah, I saw one in.. Kevin’s blog I think.
