Tags have gone commercial

You may have seen the Million Dollar Homepage, wherein some guy is selling ads on his site at $1 per pixel. Bet you wish you thought of that, huh?

There have been many variations to draw inspiration from that model in the few months since it’s been up, and here’s the latest: 1000tags, which is combining the Web 2.0 notion of tags and folksonomies with that there filthy lucre to offer a way to buy your way into a paid tag cloud.

The flipside of their deal, is 1000tags is giving a certain number of bloggers who talk about them their own tag for free if they talk about the service. So here I am. Do I win a tag?

You got a tag just for mentioning them on your blog?

Yes, although they are no longer giving tags away for a mention. Now you need to put a mini-tag cloud on your site somewhere to get a free tag.
