The news is a couple of days old, but I’ve only just discovered that WordPress.com has implemented global tags:
We’re experimenting with a new system for connecting bloggers across WordPress.com with people writing about the same topics. We just turned on our global tags system, which means that when you blog about topic X and tag your post with X, you can see everyone else who has done the same. Think of it like Technorati tags for our little community here.
And yes, since we last mentioned WordPress.com here on Dekita, they have dropped the invitation system—anyone can now set up their own WordPress.com weblog straight away.
For those of you who have been grumbling about Blogger’s relative lack of “social networking features”—well, here’s something you might find appealing.

That’s good news! All the more reason to turn students onto Wordpress. Did you see that James Farmer is now offering a site called eslblogs.org?

The two services sound excellent. Together with the simplified Dekita Exchange, they will increase and strengthen the EFL/
ESL network, facilitating and stimulating learner conversations and comments across the web.
