Could ‘categories’ help us work smarter?

I wondered last night about categories as a means of seperating posts on our blogs into some clear, well-defined, and purposeful compartments. For example, if we had a category we called newsworthy, anyone writing a post they consider has potential for I&C to pick up as a story lead, could find it there.

There might be a debate over whether categories or tags will do this best – I imagine having the facilty where I&C are able to quickly access all posts from all blogs that are categorised or tagged as newsworthy and then take things from there.

Once we establish how this can work, it could generate more story leads, and give Feba staff more of a hands-on involvement in developing the kinds of stories that stir people’s hearts, imaginations, and support of our work.

It could also be something of a model for how we might define other helpful categories to include as default categories in our blogging system.
