About BigOvens Group Tagging
BigOven for Windows users can post as many recipes as they want, free of charge, to the shared online recipe archive at www.bigoven.com. They simply enter the recipe into the program and click the Post Recipe" button on the toolbar. Cooks can tag", or mark up, a recipe with keywords indicating its cuisine, ingredients, style of cooking, occasion served, diet style and more. Other cooks can then see all tags within a particular category, essentially creating a browsing structure designed by the user community, rather than a set of editors.
By posting their favorite recipes and tagging them with descriptive terms of their own choosing, BigOven becomes more naturally organized the more people use it. Since other cooks can try and rate recipes, that are posted, its like having a giant, shared test kitchen used by people around the world."
