What will TagItAll look like?

TagItAll will be an application that permits people to easily enter opinion data into the Ideapool.

At this point, a year from beginning development, I envision the first time experience as:

1. Bob gets an e-mail telling him someone has said something about him in the Ideapool.
2. Bob logs into a website.
3. Bob enters the authentication information for his e-mail account.
4. For all the e-mail addresses in that Bob has, he can see information that other people have entered: pictures, blog posts, preferences, opinions in the form of tags, whatever information has been entered into the pool that the interface can display.
5. Bob can tag people either free form or have the system prompt him with a random collection of existing tags and terms deemed interesting by a learning algorithm.
6. Bob can enter pictures of himself or other people to be displayed when people search for him.

Think of Facebook except the data is open and the relationship data is nuanced. Because the data is shared, other applications could be developed for managing photo collections and business relationships and whatever else. Sharing is integral to the system rather than added after the fact.
