LeapTag is a browser tool bar add-on that wants to help you find new blogs and websites based on your interests and web browsing habits. You begin by creating tags which represent something you’d normally be interested in, such as screencasts. LeapTag will give you search results based on those tags which you can then vote on if you like or dislike them. You’re also given results for books that match your search and you can vote on those as well. The goal is to train LeapTag so eventually you’ll always get results that are perfect for you and voting won’t be necessary.
One thing I couldn’t figure out was how to share your tags with friends. It’s not something I feel is important but on the “About LeapTag” page there’s a paragraph explaining the ability to invite people to join groups and allowing members to comment on votes etc. I couldn’t find any way to do that in this screencast so if someone figures it out, please let me know! Here’s my screencast tour of LeapTag:
