What is that baby bottle icon I see beside some of the threads?

It is a pencil and it means that someone has edited something

I think it means the thread has been tagged. Ask Suzy. I think she is the only one who might know what it means.

It is a link you can hover over to see what the tags are. I love tagging things, it's the librarian in me!

Here is the link to the tags, the bigger the word the more often it is that we talk about it.

And yet again I was "mistaken"

And what, may I ask, is a tag?

You can tag certain words in your post to make easier to find.... for example, you might tag tantrum or diaperbag if you were writing about those. Anyone searching the community for information on tantrum would see your posts returned.

Tagging is a whole new movement in social computing.... Web 2.0 (the "new" way to use the Internet--though it looks no different to the average user) is huge on community involvement in building resources and knowledge, instead of having that information driven by a single source of knowledge (think blogs, wikis, tagging, message boards instead of a corporation publishing information). I'm actually writing a course right now about this stuff and it's intriguing!
