We have the limited category list.

 Sometimes I need accurate description when package can use.

 How about to use hashtags like #hamradio etc.

Great! I like that...

What's the practical difference between a tag and a hashtag? I think that he means to put tags as comments? I have no clue really

I thought he was talking about something like tags used in Jabber or Identi.ca posts. They are inline and begin with a hash, like that: I think #Arch #Linux is awesome. -- catwell

The sense escapes me. o_O

I see people doing this on twitter. Functionality-wise they are just tags. the hash ('#') sign in front is to just mark "this is a tag", which is useful for other tools and scripts to parse/categorize/... content Dieter

Re: searching descriptions: when searching via description, you're likely to find descriptions that have whatever keyword you typed, but not in the scenario you had in mind. Example: You searched for "office" and that matches the description "Game about shooting people at the office" If instead you had a tag system, searching --tag office would, presumably, match office applications only. Anyway, this may not be a tremendously great example, but I think there is somewhat of a point here. -AT On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 12:58 PM, Loui Chang wrote:

So it isn't really any more useful than just searching a well written description eh?
