TagFetch Searches the Tagosphere

TagFetch solves an important problem with a simple solution. It searches all of the major sites that utilize tags and pulls them all together on a single page. You can search bookmark, media, news and blog tools that are all powered by a common denominator - tags.

TagFetch is a fantastic service. You should be using it to search for your brands. My only nits are that 1) it doesn't generate an RSS feed for searches and/or an OPML file the way gada.be does and 2) it's not an open system; I would like to see the ability for users to add other tag systems.

Technorati Tags: TagFetch

Its a nice aggregator, but it doesn't really encourage exploration of the tag space; I'm guessing they fetch in real time as opposed to maintaining an index of their own.

Take a look at my implementation on BlockRocker; its not an apples-apples comparison as my site only indexes geo-tagged material. But a tag search for "beach," for instance, will also return similar tags and link to (and map, of course) their source material (tags are indexed from Flickr, Upcoming.org, Del.icio.us, YouTube, Eventful, etc.)

Here's "beach":

"....doesn't generate an RSS feed for searches." You're kidding us, right? How lame that is. Gotta have RSS feed these days. Otherwise, I'm gone in 30 seconds. And not an open system? Gone in 45 seconds.

Updated UI, more feeds, more updates to come.

Sounds a lot like www.rel8r.com except rel8r's got tons of feeds, reverse tagging, etc.
