SpinSpire Releases Top-level Drupal Project - Popular Tags

SpinSpire publishes popular-tags Drupal module on drupal.org for better taxonomy tag selection.

I’m very pleased to announce that SpinSpire has released and published on drupal.org as top-level project - popular tags (http://drupal.org/project/popular-tags), Drupal module for better taxonomy tag selection.

Top level projects are different from sandbox projects on drupal.org in that they have to go through a rigorous peer-review process to become top-level and are considered safe/high-quality enough for public use.

This module allows the users to select taxonomy terms/tags by just clicking on them rather than typing them (auto-complete) or selecting them from a select box/checkbox/radio etc.

It shows them a list of tags, sorted by popularity (defined as how many nodes are tagged with it), up to a configurable maximum number. Also, when you hover over a listed tag, it shows how many times it has been used.

This helps the user see what the most commonly used tags, rather than having to guess. It also avoids creation of numerous closely related and similar tags because the user can see such a tag if it already exists.
