Tagging along

Tags are a wonderful way to convey information in a simple and compact form. When quickly browsing through movies and trying to find something to watch, half a dozen well thought and descriptive tags can really make a difference when adding them up with the normally used criterion of lead actors, themes, posters etc.

In the future, tags can also help us categorize movies better and refine the analysis of a user’s taste and thus allow more and better personalized content.

So, adding tags to movies is now possible when you add a movie to your timeline. The tags appear on the movie page in weighted order and appearance reflecting the popularity of tags used.

Please remember these guidelines when adding tags:

  • Separate with commas
  • Only singular forms
  • Only nouns
  • In English only
  • Preferably 1-2 words per tag
  • No genres
  • No actors, directors nor other makers
