	iTaggizine Newsletter February 2008

It's been a busy month here at iTaggit, and 2008 is already starting to fly by. We've been working hard to develop new features and improve the overall look of iTaggit.

We'd love to hear your feedback. If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to email us.

The most significant change we are introducing this month is our personalization feature. In an effort to make the website more personal and interesting, we developed a filter which allows users to customize the information they see on iTaggit.

New Feature Once logged in, users will only see blogs, items, and gallery collections that fit under the categories they have choosen to view. This feature can be easily edited or turned off at any time using the button in the right corner of any page on iTaggit.

Tired of seeing comics when you're an antique fan, or vice versa? Try the personalization feature today and starting living in a community built around your interests.

You've probably noticed other changes on iTaggit too. We recently added a tag cloud, with the most used tags featured on our homepage. The larger the tag, the more items it is associated with. In addition, the tag cloud will include any item on iTaggit, regardless of your filter setup. This makes searching for your favorite items easier.

The highly anticipated feature which allows you to embed videos to your profile, items, and blogs is now also available to our users. Check out this blog for an example and instructions.

Have a video about an item, collection, or any other topic that you find interesting? Post it, blog about it, and connect with the iTaggit community.

lwallace38

User lwallace38 has a collection of comic books that will leave you in awe. There is so much to find out about them and they all have very detailed descriptions and great pictures. His collection of Evil Dead memorabilia is definitely worth checking out.

All of you comic fans out there know that WonderCon took place in San Francisco just a few days ago. If you were lucky enough to go, share your experiences with us by embedding videos and blogging about it on iTaggit.
