%%site.name%% supports [tags](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_(metadata)) to help you organize your activities here. You can use tags for people and for notices. Tagging a notice ---------------- You can tag a notice using a *hashtag*; a # character followed by letters and numbers as well as '.', '-', and '_'. Note that accented latin characters are not supported, and non-roman scripts are right out. The HTML for the notice will link to a stream of all the other notices with that tag. This can be a great way to keep track of a conversation. The most popular current tags on the site can be found in the [public tag cloud](%%action.publictagcloud%%). Their size shows their popularity and recency. Tagging yourself ---------------- You can also add tags for yourself on your [profile settings](%%action.profilesettings%%) page. Use single words to describe yourself, your experiences and your interest. The tags will become links on your profile page to a list of all the users on the site who use that same tag. It can be a nice way to find people who are related to you geographically or who have a common interest. Tagging your subscriptions -------------------------- You can also tag your subscriptions, on the subscriptions page. This makes it easy to organize your subscriptions into groups and sort through them separately. You can also send a notice "to the attention of" everyone you've marked with a particular tag (note: *not* people who've marked themselves with that tag). "@#family hello" will send a notice to everyone you've marked with the tag 'family'.
